Art is useless, right? You cannot drink it, eat it, or spend it. So why do people spend millions of RMB each year to travel, attend museums and exhibitions, and - for the few that can afford it - buy collections of art works? Originating in a shared cultural history, art has the ability to both reinforce our understanding and to revolutionize it. No knowledge of art is necessary for this discussion.Are you familiar with Ophelia? She's an amazing character who's been depicted in art for hundreds of years. This club takes a wide and wandering journey through the portrayals and betrayals of Ophelia as we ask what these questions: What is universal in the language of love, loss and beauty? How can we use this understanding to enrich our lives and build meaningful connections?艺术无用吗?不能吃、不能喝、也不能用。那么为什么人们每年花上百万去国外参观美术馆,看展览,甚至有些人还会购买艺术品?艺术源于人类社会共通的文化历史,既增强了我们的理解力,也改变了我们的认知。本场讨论不需要你一定具备艺术类的知识。你知道Ophelia吗?她是近几百年艺术家笔下的经典人物。本期活动将带大家全面了解以Ophelia为主角的肖像画作品以及发生在她身上的背叛故事。同时探究以下两个问题:在爱、失去和美丽的语言里,什么是共通的?我们如何用这些知识来丰富自己的生活、建立有意义的联系?
