A Conversation on Hope

An Improvisational Performance of Ideas

 




“It is a question of learning hope….The most tragic form of loss isn’t the loss of security; it’s the loss of the capacity to imagine that things could be different. ” – Ernst Bloch (Principles of Hope)

Hosted by The Foundry Theatre and Cornel West, this event brought together 300 artists and public thinkers, many for the first time, to improvise a performance of ideas; to engage in a series of creative conversations and encounters exploring notions of hope and its impact on the actions we do and do not take in the politics of our everyday lives. The event is itself a process … an extemporaneous journey; and the first of many unique events designed to directly explore and challenge the relationship between artists and the larger society.  Next stop … to be continued.
