Through creativity, we can strengthen our empathy and understanding and thus contribute to greater harmony between humans and other beings and inanimate objects on this planet. Art can serve as a bridge to this endeavor.
Today, as technology and artificial intelligence increasingly permeate our lives, the question of humanity and its opposite is becoming increasingly relevant. What if we look at the world from the perspective of other beings? What values and experiences might we discover?
What if, for a small moment, we were reincarnated as a pine cone, a beetle, a celery, a stone or a machine? What story would we tell then? Perhaps the notion that we can perceive through non-human lenses is a bit fanciful, yet even a small effort to take a broader perspective can benefit not only us, but all non-human creatures and inanimate co-inhabitants of the earth…
The program leads to a deeper tolerance for non-human beings, touching on post-humanism and ecofeminism through creative activities.
