“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; that which is essential is invisible to the eye” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Symbols exist across cultures as an expression of the timeless human search for meaning, acting as a bridge between the visible and invisible. New Acropolis (India) in collaboration with The National Gallery of Modern Art (Ministry of Culture, Government of India) celebrate Word Philosophy Day 2022 through a talk and presentation exploring the universal language of symbols through Philosophy and Art. Director of New Acropolis (India) Yaron Barzilay will explore symbols across traditions as a window to discover deeper Truths about life and our role as human beings. Philosopher and Photographer Pierre Poulain will present the art and medium of photography as a means to touch the higher aesthetic and beauty of life.
The event is part of a global celebration of World Philosophy Day by New Acropolis in over 60 countries as a way to reaffirm the power of Philosophy to change the world by enabling us to change ourselves.
