Ipek S. Burnett: psychological activism and aesthetic response

An invitation to connect inner reflection with social responsibility. The focus on art and imagination offers a thoughtful entry point into how we respond to difficult events, without reducing that response to a quick solution.

Ipek S. Burnett joins the Minnesota Jung Association for an online talk about psychological activism and the power of aesthetic response. The starting point is a question about how art, imagination and awareness might inform an ethical response to the world.

How might our response to art help us engage with the world around us? Ipek S. Burnett explores this question through psychological activism and aesthetic response. Drawing on Jungian ideas about the symbolic and creative psyche, the talk considers imagination, embodied awareness and ethical engagement amid collective anxiety and social fragmentation. These are perspectives to explore, rather than promises of a particular personal outcome.

This 2-hour online talk is hosted by the Minnesota Jung Association. Non-member admission is USD 28.52, including a USD 3.52 fee; MJA members attend free. Ticket sales close on 11 November at 18:54 UTC, before the 14 November event.
