Chiara came to the bookstore and proposed a cluster of talks to reflect on the human condition and the now, through the lenses of art, emotional awareness and empathy. These talks will include artists and experts from the fields of dance, music, performance art, figurative art and cuisine, and hope to create a setting for empowering conversations about art and its role in these complex times. 

The first talk on May 2nd will host Elif Gokcidem, PhD in Islamic Arts and founder of ONE - Organization for Networks of Empathy. We will discuss artistic awakenings, redefine the concept of empathy as a cornerstone of human connection to reflect on art as a conduit to get in touch to our selves, and to what is around us.
