We explore how the rise of our interconnected world—through global culture, technology, and economic systems—has made it increasingly difficult to define and express our individual identities. Historically, individuality was celebrated as a mark of creativity, freedom, and personal achievement. However, in today’s world, conformity to global trends has become more acceptable and often encouraged.
We’ll trace the roots of individualism from ancient civilizations through the Renaissance and Enlightenment, examining how societal wealth and stability allowed people to focus on self-expression and creativity. We'll also look at how global influences and digital platforms are shaping our identities and the arts, making it harder for unique voices to emerge in a world of constant cultural homogenization.
Join us as we discuss the tension between personal expression and global conformity, and whether it’s still possible to stand out in a world where everything—and everyone—feels interconnected.
