It’s Alive! A Century ofAnimation from the Collection

1 upcoming performance in New York

At MoMA Exhibitions, *It’s Alive: A Century of Animation from the Collection* surveys how moving images have been drawn, cut, photographed, and composited across roughly a hundred years. The show follows animation’s shift from early experiments and studio-era craft to modern and digital forms, treating the medium as both entertainment and visual research. In New York, where MoMA helped define the museum place of film, the exhibition reads as a reminder that animation has long been part of the city’s cultural record. One clear takeaway is how often innovation comes from constraint.
