This year’s public programme in the Swiss Engadin valley explores the theme, ‘Beyond Powerless’
E.A.T / Engadin Art Talks is pleased to announce its annual, multidisciplinary forum dedicated to culture and innovation – from January 26-28 2024, in Zuoz, Switzerland. This year’s theme is ‘Jenseits von Ohnmacht – Beyond Powerless’.
Among the participants will be Simone Fattal, Hernando Chindoy, and Paola Audrey Ndengue. Koyo Kouoh, Chief Curator and Director of the Zeitz MOCAA Museum in Cape Town, is responsible for the selection of invited speakers for the first time in this edition, along with Daniel Baumann, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Philip Ursprung.
With a dynamic mix of conversations, performances, and experiences, E.A.T aim to reflect a space of possibilities beyond the prevalent ‘powerlessness’, a space to discover strength, regain hope, and enable action. Our world is in a serious crisis with global health, security and environmental problems out of control – and art can, and should, play a central role in restoring balance.
