Dr. Dena Shottenkirk continues the conversation series on topic #3: Art as Cognition this time bringing it back home to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, prompting participant’s with the INPUT: “What does art mean to you? How is it that art gives us knowledge about the world?” This public philosophy event resumes the ongoing talkPOPc podcast series archiving participants’ thoughts and illustrating the consensus process of “building thought through Conversation”

PRESS RELEASE:

“talkPOPc creates inspired insights for people through one-to-one conversations with a resident philosopher. Various philosophers participate in talkPOPc and the public philosophy thinking events are staged in public settings.

Conceived and founded by Dr. Dena Shottenkirk, philosopher and artist, each topic is one on which she has published writings and had made artwork about. This is just the first INPUT into the conversation and serves as the catalyst for these public conversations and socially engaged art. These are a way of asking individuals: “what do you think about this topic?”

By situating talkPOPc events in diverse national and international locales, the public philosophy+socially engaged art project strives to give people a chance to foster and develop their own thoughts on particular topics. It provides a fun activity that aims to build responsible citizenship and full humanness through therapeutic self-awareness.

“talkPOPc: Change happens because people talk.”
