We are delighted to invite you to the 2nd AFAR Talk held by the curator Luiza Teixeira de Freitas in conversation with the art historian Alina \u0218erban. It is about care and the intertwining between art and health \u2013 a recurring theme in the curatorial research of Luiza Teixeira de Freitas. In a light, melodic and loose way, our guest speaker will discuss how care can be portrayed, seen and given importance to, through art. Weaving through ideas and practices that allude to bridges and transformations, illness and healing, leisure \u2013 music, dance, literature and words, light and growth, nature and absence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The importance of care cannot be undervalued, in the many aspects of life and human condition. It is the act of showing concern, consideration and thoughtfulness for someone or something and has an essential role in promoting well-being and building relationships, as well as working towards an adjusted society. The importance of recognizing people\u00b4s holistic needs, including their emotional, psychological and spiritual dimensions. Art serves as a tool to promote dignity, comfort and quality of life in difficult times, offering a meaningful and often transformative experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Knowing how to care and being willing to do so is a central value that shapes the lives of each of us in countless ways, and supports the ethical and moral values of which we are made of. Reminding us that care is a universal and timeless aspect of human experience, present in the intricate tapestry of relationships and that cultivating this idea in our personal and professional lives contributes to a more compassionate and harmonious world.<\/div>\n
