Is art the secret to everlasting love?
Itâs no secret that some of the most powerful art has been inspired by love, that singular, indescribable feeling that, as it turns out, we are all capable of experiencing. âWe all have the 12 brain areas that are critical for love,â says Dr. Stephanie Cacioppo, a leading figure in the neuroscience of social connections. It doesnât matter if that love we feel is for our friends, our community, or our romantic partners, the only thing that changes between these relationships is the intensity we feel and see in the brain. Whatâs more, when we embrace that love, amazing things can happen and our brains become stronger.
In this Valentineâs Day episode of the Magazine Podcast, weâre exploring the science of love and how art can help foster it. Weâll hear from Dr. Cacioppo about her research, and from a couple who met at MoMA more than 50 years ago. Together, theyâll teach us that we donât need to look far for loveâsometimes weâll find it where we least expect.

A neuroscientist discusses how smell influences everything from emotions and relationships to identity and wellbeing.
Our sense of smell is something many of us take for granted, but this sensation is more powerful than you may think. âIt literally filters through all aspects of our existence,â explains neuroscientist Rachel Herz, âand the more we deliberately use our sense of smellâŠthe better our brain health is, and even the general health of our bodies.â Smell also plays an important role in art, with many artists using scent as a way to prompt questions. These artworks encourage us to slow down and engage our senses. As Herz reminds us, when we stop and smell the metaphorical roses, âit can really ground us and bring us into that moment.â

The winner of RuPaulâs Drag Race All Stars reflects on how drag changes us for the better.
For this monthâs Ten Minutes podcast, we spoke to the award-winning opera singer and drag queen MonĂ©t X Change about the anti-drag movement, which has led to protests across the country in response to the growing popularity of drag. âWith all these legislations and bills to try to keep drag away from certain people,â says MonĂ©t X Change, âit feels like an attack on our livelihood and this, like, way to dehumanize us.â But queer people across the country are using their voice and artistry to resist and show that the contributions of LGBTQIA+ communities are crucial to society. In MonĂ©tâs words, âDrag has been around for a very long time. Something that has been around for so long is living proof that it informs the culture and that it is completely valid.â

For many, a trip to MoMA means confronting questions of access: Does this space welcome people like me? Will I be given what I need in order to feel safe and included?
At the core of this monthâs Ten Minutes podcast is the question, What does access look like? According to Laura Aguilarâs work Access + Opportunity = Success, access includes, among other things, âthe right to enter or use.â But Dr. TherĂ Pickens argues that access goes deeper than that. Using Aguilarâs work as a point of departure, the writer and disability studies scholar explores how our lives are shaped by our identities and the privileges granted to certain bodies and experiences.
