Summary: 
Starting from the importance of light to improve the mood and mental health of people, Grimanesa Amorós proposes Scientia to promote moments of self-reflection and personal fulfillment.

The piece is proposed as “a means to access our emotional self, providing a manifested mental space to nurture self-realization and promote community engagement.”

This site-specific installation is part of the artistic programme that accompanies the first international congress The Wellbeing Summit for Social Change that is held in Bilbao from June 1 to 3, 2022 and that addresses social and community change, through collective action.
The Summit Arts Programme includes over a dozen artistic proposals in cultural spaces, such as Azkuna Zentroa. This is the case of Scientia, the site specific created by the artist Grimanesa Amorós for the Atrium, Remember this: the lesson of Jan Karski, a theatre piece revolving around the figure of Jan Karski, an important activist against the Holocaust and the performative action Ancestors of the blue moon by the artist Himali Singh Soin.
