QUESTIONS
-
What gives you hope?
The freedom and flexibility of thought that I encounter again and again when discovering works of art, but also the profoundness I find in some of them. The strength, rigor and resistance of the artists and the people who are working to sustain and develop our culture(s). -
How does change happen?
Change happens through self-reflection, the power of imagination and – most importantly – a rigorous will to act. Change becomes possible when we come together as a collective to collaborate and re-imagine possibilities for the future. -
If you could have a conversation with one person (dead or alive) who would it be?
Joan Didion.
