Art has always been a vital force in human experience — a universal language through which we make sense of the world and connect across differences. It enables us to process complex emotions, bridge divides, and imagine new ways of being. Art is transformation: it heals, questions, and redefines how we see ourselves and the societies we create.
At the global Hearth Summit, the arts are not an addition but a core element — a living thread woven through every aspect of the gathering. They deepen our connection by inviting participants into a shared journey of reflection and creation, where individual and collective experiences intertwine. They act as catalysts for social change, helping us reimagine society, challenge conventions, and inspire new approaches to wellbeing and social change.
Artists Artists
Led by Manuel Bagorro, Creative Advisor at Carnegie Hall and Artistic Director of several global events; alongside Carrie Barratt, former Deputy Director at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; and Anique Jordan, Artist, Writer and Curator; advised by Vicente Todolí, internationally renowned contemporary Art Curator and former General Director of Tate Modern London and Artistic Director of HangarBicocca; and guided by an Arts and Experiences Advisory Board, the artistic program and collaborations with local and international cultural partners bring a vibrant, multidisciplinary pulse to the event — infusing it with dynamic, and artistic energy.
Arts Commissioned Arts
Commissioned works by acclaimed international artists animated public spaces and Summit venues, while performances, and artistic workshops sparked dialogue, deepen reflection, and inspire collective transformation. Through the arts, the global Hearth Summit becomes not just a space for conversation, but a living work of collective imagination — one that invites us to create, to collaborate, and to embody the world we wish to build together.
