Culture Exchange

جلسة فلسفية حوارية، نحاول فيها الاقتراب من الإنسان العنوان الذي سنتحدث حوله في هذا اللقاء ( *الغضب , الرفض* ) في هذه الجلسة، لا نبحث عن إجابة واحدة، لأن الفلسفة — كما قال سقراط — «الحكمة الحقيقية هي أن تعرف أنك لا تعرف.» مع فاطمة الشاهين-شوق الشمري نحاور، نتساءل، نختلف باحترام، ونسمح للأسئلة أن تبقى مفتوحة… ☕ مشروبك او شرائك اي منتج من المكان = تذكرة دخولك📍 🗓️ الاربعاء 6 مايو ⏰8:00 مساءً
