On the Move is a photography exhibition celebrating the completion of an interdisciplinary inquiry at the unexpected intersection of physical therapy, photography, and art history. Awarded a UConn STEAM Innovation Grant in 2020, three early-career UConn professors created a study aimed at using creative movement and long-exposure photography to improve gait-training, motivation, and quality of life for Parkinson’s disease patients. On the Move showcases the photographs created by participants during the study, and points to new horizons for collaborative research in the arts and sciences. The exhibition is funded by a University of Connecticut School of Fine Arts STEAM Innovation Grant to principal co-investigators Clare Benson, Cristina Colón-Semenza and Charlotte Gray.
