Feminist Economy: The Conflict between People and Resources

Stand Firm: Resisting the Self-Improvement Craze

Constant improvement of skill sets, self and personality has become a requirement in our accelerating culture. Eternal change seems to be the only permanent thing in our lives. This is true in education, family and work life. In this lecture, Svend Brinkmann, psychology professor and writer, asks whether we have reached the limits to how much flexibility and adaptability people can handle.

What are the consequences for human integrity, loyalty and duty when we are continuously expected to improve? Can we truly find direction in life by constantly looking inward and “listening to our instincts?” What alternatives are there for those who do not want to always strive to “find their inner self” but rather stand firm and come to terms with themselves? Svend Brinkmann introduces thinking that emphasizes peace of mind, dignity and duty as an antidote to today’s self-improvement craze.

The Curator and the Artist

How can art help to create well-being? In offices, institutions and in public spaces? And how does the creative process work? Does it factor in the audience and well-being?

Jens-Peter Brask, art collector and curator, and artist Simon Sebastian sit down with Ane Cortzen to share their perspectives on art and how we can all benefit from art and the underlying creative urge.
