Attention! 7 May 2025 16:00 - 17:30

Attention! We all ask for it and may give it undividedly, but why do we want it? And who do we choose to give it to?

During these three sessions we will delve into the topic of attention. What is it? Why do we need it? And what does the commodification of attention mean to us?  

During the first session of this series, we will focus on the works of Sarah Jaquette Ray and Ezra Klein. We will try to understand what we give attention to and what needs attention most. We'll think about what it means when attention is commodified and how this impacts our lives and communities. In their works, these writers advocate for a shift in what we give attention to. Wondering what role attention plays in connection to community forming and building? Join our first session! 

During the second session we will have a dialogue with an expert on what attention does with us and how we relate to it.  

In our last session we will reflect on our own relationship with attention-getting and -giving through a creative work-form. 

Interested in attention and its effects? Come join us!
