The Museum of Modern Art Announces The 2023-24 Cohort of the MoMA Scholars in Residence Program, Supported by the Ford Foundation

The Museum of Modern Art announces the 2023–24 cohort of the MoMA Scholars in Residence program: C. Ondine Chavoya, Anne Anlin Cheng, and Sherrilyn Ifill. The program invites three acclaimed, inspiring thinkers to join the Museum for a one-year term to pursue independent research that contributes to new understandings of modern and contemporary art. The current class of scholars follows the inaugural group, which included Brent Hayes Edwards, Joan Kee, and Robin Coste Lewis. Along with work on independent projects, Edwards, Kee, and Lewis have hosted conversations, collaborated on displays, and incubated new projects while at the Museum.

MoMA Scholars in Residence, supported by the Ford Foundation, includes both scholars and makers who offer fresh perspectives on the history of modern and contemporary art. This unique residency program, in the second year of a two-year pilot phase, supports the work of three thought leaders with demonstrated records of achievement to pursue research with full access to the Museum’s collections, archives, and library, and in dialogue with our staff.
