👁The revolutionary power of diverse thought
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣\"From populist demagogues, we will learn the indispensability of democracy,\" says novelist Elif Shafak. \"From isolationists, we will learn the need for global solidarity. And from tribalists, we will learn the beauty of cosmopolitanism.\" A native of Turkey, Shafak has experienced firsthand the devastation that a loss of diversity can bring -- and she knows the revolutionary power of plurality in response to authoritarianism. In this passionate, personal talk, she reminds us that there are no binaries, in politics, emotions and our identities. \"One should never, ever remain silent for fear of complexity,\" Shafak says.

👁An art made of trust, vulnerability and connection
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Marina Abramović's art pushes the boundary between audience and artist in pursuit of heightened consciousness and personal change. In her groundbreaking 2010 work, \"The Artist Is Present,\" she simply sat in a chair facing her audience, for eight hours a day ... with powerfully moving results. Her boldest work may still be yet to come -- it's taking the form of a sprawling art institute devoted to experimentation and simple acts done with mindful attention. \"Nothing happens if you always do things the same way,\" she says. \"My method is to do things I'm afraid of, the things I don't know, to go to territory that nobody's ever been.\"
