The Museum of Modern Art’s annual Modern Mondays series, which celebrates moving-image experimentation and innovation, will return in September 2026. The series welcomes an international and intergenerational roster of artists, working at the forefront of the medium, to share their work with an intimate audience at MoMA.
This long-running screening series builds upon the legacy of MoMA’s Cineprobe (1968-2002) and Video Viewpoints (1978-2002) programs, and each evening presents a unique opportunity for audiences to engage in dialogue with the artists, along with curators and other guests. Often premiering new films or building on concurrent MoMA exhibitions through in-depth dialogue, Modern Mondays is a platform for both emerging artists and trailblazing figures shaping moving-image culture today.
