JadaTalks Presents: The Rise of Digi-Romantic Artists

During Paris Art Week, JadaTalks presents a conversation on The Rise of Digi-Romantic ArtistsDigi-Romanticism is defined by Jada as a term that depicts a social paradigm-shift among creatives, whose works contain an emotional appeal that clashes and contrasts with the fast-paced technological ethos in which they exist. Their production is often narrative-based, and aims to reclaim grand-narratives and utopian themes — as a reaction to the search for meaning and deeper content in daily life during confinement, which deprived all of the constant multi-sensorial stimulation of life pre-Covid19 Pandemic. Tune in on October 24, 2020 at 9 AM EST to hear from our guest speaker Suzanne Khalil, Ph.D. and co-founder of Jada, Jonatas, and co-founder of Jada, Dana Blickensderfer during this online and live streaming art conversation.
