On Saturday 17 June 2023, a group of renowned artists, thinkers and writers from around the world will gather for the Nexus Conference 2023, to reflect – in the wake of Nietzsche and Van Gogh – on our times and our world. Do greed and the will to power reign today, or can we still believe in other ideals? What gives our lives meaning? Where do we find wisdom and knowledge about it: in the cloud, in libraries, in art? And has Western culture degenerated into a tomb of tourist attractions or is it still a rich treasury offering hope? Order your tickets now.
