Last year, the Harvard Art Museums acquired a tiny sculpture by Danyang Song that glows in the dark: Nighty Night I (2024). Featuring various ceramic techniques, the work embodies Song’s life and art practice during a personal health scare. This talk by staff member Tayana Fincher focuses on the need to unwind as part of self-care, drawing connections between art making and healing.
This talk is part of Decompress, a series that allows visitors to linger in quiet contemplation or receive a mindful perspective about artworks in our collections during these special opportunities. Whether through a meditative moment, a guided activity, or a reflection with art, the museums are your place to decompress and slow down.
