With Hegel in the XXI century

Descrizione

Organizing the exhibition “With Hegel in the XXI century – A philosophical Exhibition” to commemorate, 250 years later, the birth of the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-2020) was first of all and foremost a challenge. As is well known, the philosophy and life of Hegel have been dedicated to music, poetry, famous paintings and novels, but no artistic-philosophical exhibition had yet been designed to reactivate his thought through art. In addition, this adventure was conducted in the middle of the pandemic that has overturned the habits, communication and teaching methods, as well as the fruition and artistic curatorship of the entire globe. With an interdisciplinary and international project, an attempt was made to reactivate the still undiscovered potential of Hegelian philosophy.
