What Will Make Us Proud of Our Conversations–at School, at Home, Online?

Emails about sports, texts about the day in school, phone or schoolyard discussions about friends—young people talk to each other! Aesthetic Realism asks: Can boys and girls have conversations that enable them to feel kinder, deeper, and have them respect themselves? Yes!
This children’s event, for young people ages 5-12, will show what Aesthetic Realism, founded by the great American poet and critic Eli Siegel explains: their deepest desire, with everything they do, is to like the world on an honest basis. And every conversation can be a means to this! Teachers Barbara Allen and Robert Murphy will talk with the young people about the following beautiful sentences by Mr. Siegel from The Right of Aesthetic Realism to be Known:

“In a good conversation, we find out more of what we feel….Every person looking at us has something we don’t have, because we cannot see ourselves the way another sees us. Through others we come to be what we are. ‘I found out more of what I was in talking to you’: that is why people have conversations.”

Children will have the pleasure of finding out how, through talking with others, they can know themselves better and make each other stronger and, yes, prouder!

141 Greene Street, SoHo.
