PHI x Perspec tives
PHI Perspectives consists of a series of conferences with influential figures organized by the PHI Centre, every iteration sharing a common ambition—to re-evaluate our age-old systems, and to propose a shift in established models. Each event will act as material for videos on contemporary issues, commented by Cheryl Sim, Managing Director and Curator at the PHI Foundation. A journey through evolving thoughts, between theory and change, balancing technology and narration, and producing knowledge for future generations.
Our ethnocultural diversity is being eroded at an alarming rate. Indigenous cultures and entire ways of being are rapidly disappearing, being replaced by the construction of a monochromatic world. In this PHI Perspectives, we explore the consequences of disappearing cultures and how we can allow for their preservation and re-creation.
