Artistic Encounters with Jung – A One Day Symposium
Justin will be speaking November 14 at the Kristine Mann Library in New York City as part of Artistic Encounters with Jung – A One Day Symposium.
It will feature his research project The Visual Jung: An Artist’s Journey Through Jungian Training which was awarded the 2024 Kristine Mann Library Research Award. Other presenters include Hilary Morgan presenting on her grandmother Christiana Morgan’s Tower on the Marsh, inspired by Jung’s tower at Bollingen, and Ilona Melker sharing from her experiences as an analyst and art therapist.
The Kristine Mann Library has an outstanding collection of books on depth psychology and related fields right in the middle of Manhattan. Kristine Mann Library, 28 E 39th St, New York, NY 10016. Event tickets and information at: junglibrary.org/events.
The Visual Jung: An Artist’s Journey Through Jungian Training at the C.G. Jung Institute Zurich
The C.G. Jung Institute Zurich and its picture archive will also present a solo exhibition by Justin featuring ‘The Visual Jung: An Artist’s Journey Through Jungian Training.’
Featuring twenty selected works, the show chronicles a decade of analytical training through imagistic notes drawn in real time during lectures in Boston and Zurich. By capturing complex psychological concepts, myths, and archetypes as spontaneous ink illustrations, the illustrated notes bridge the conscious and unconscious psyche. The immersive exhibition offers a deeply embodied, visually driven exploration of training in analytical psychology, transforming abstract Jungian theory into expressive artistic metaphor and dynamic, living visual imaginations.
- When: October 2026 – June 2027
- Where: C.G. Jung Institute Zurich, Küsnacht • Hornweg 28. • CH-8700 Küsnacht
