About this session

What is the power of radical stillness when living in a fast-paced, increasingly hyperconnected world? In this session, the works of renowned conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramović are explored through a lens of intentional slowness, examining what it can teach us about empathy, culture and the future of human connection.

This is a livestreamed session.
