About Mountain Moving Day
In 2002 artist Senga Nengudi created Mountain Moving Day, a ritual celebration to empower, unify, and heal women. Nengudi offers this ritual to communities within and outside her reach through a set of instructions published on her website. Intended to be held on the third Sunday in March (during Women’s History Month), though possible to be held at any time and place, the project asks women to celebrate individually, amongst friends, or amongst strangers, to spiritually and symbolically move barriers placed in front of them.
About Senga Nengudi 2023 Nasher Prize Laureate:
Senga Nengudi creates art traversing the disciplines of sculpture and dance to yield works that speak to the fragility and resilience of the human body, our agency as individuals, and the importance of collaboration and friendship. Over more than five decades, Nengudi has developed a practice that encompasses poetic, enigmatic objects and installations as well as performances, films, and photographs exploring the interactions of performers with and amid her three-dimensional works.
