TEDxUCL: Can Consuming Art Increase Empathy? (2023)
Throughout the last few decades, our priorities have led to excessive consumption, be it in fashion, tech, or social media. This has resulted in younger generations developing feelings of inadequacy, lacking empathy, and having a less hopeful outlook for the future than ever before. However, one of the most influential and constructive ways to recalibrate our priorities is through art. Engaging with art and focusing on consuming culture will lead us to build a kinder, more creative, and more empathetic society, setting a healthier tone for future generations.
