Culture of/as Care:

Nurturing Humanity and the Planet through Trends, Transitions and Traditions

Date: 10 Jan, 2025 | Time: 16:00 | Little Theatre

The word ‘culture’ comes from the Latin 'cultus', which means care, and from the French 'colere', which means to cultivate or to till the ground. If we were to start seeing culture from the perspective of care and responsibility toward our contemporary concerns—one that catalyses a convergence of disciplines to be a potential agent for change-making—could we focus progress in the direction of care? What paradigm shifts does that stand to bring? This discussion is aimed at rethinking the transformative power of culture as a practice of empathy, compassion and sustainability. It will examine the intersections of creative disciplines, humanity and the environment, and imagine new pathways for nurturing our planet, traditions and collective well-being.
