When we become part of a team, we learn to negotiate a number of contrasting conditions — collaboration vs. competition, offense vs. defense, success vs. failure.
A team is distinct from other social bonds as the unifying element is the shared pursuit of a common goal, whether it be winning a World Cup, achieving a scientific breakthrough, or winning an election.
Often, however, the relationship between teammates, their leaders, and their supporters extends far beyond the mere pursuit of a goal. A team quickly becomes a microcosm of broader societal phenomena, and issues such as power, gender, race, sexuality, and class come into play.
Our next R&D Salon will focus on team sports. Watch live on our YouTube Channel on October 16 at 6pm.
MoMA R&D Salons, hosted by Paola Antonelli, explore the role of museums as the R&D of society, convening intense conversations on topics ranging from AI to protest, death, breathing, and our relationship with dogs.
MoMA R&D initiatives are made possible with support from Allianz.
