The Art of Uncertainty
How Can Creativity Ground and Connect Us During Challenging Times?
In challenging times, the arts are a beacon of hope and a pathway to connection. From Beethoven to Banksy, artists have long embraced the complexity of their times and environments—creating works that force us to reflect, reckon, and rediscover possibility in the face of hardship.
As we gather in a moment of rapid change, we will look to pieces of art from across the crossroads of history that help to ground and connect us, especially in moments of uncertainty. From music to painting, poetry to prose, we will delve into the stories behind the works—and the visionaries who created them. Together, we’ll explore how art not only reflects change, but inspires it.
Join us for dinner and discussion, led by Danny Harris, Executive Director of the Aspen Institute Socrates Program.
