Siri Hustvedt in conversation with Christian House

How We Look: Art, Literature and the Mind

 – Knuden Auditorium

Acclaimed novelist, essayist and scholar Siri Hustvedt has always inhabited the liminal space between the humanities and the hard sciences. Throughout her extensive body of work, Hustvedt examines how our thoughts, imagination and creativity are deeply linked to our physical bodies and biological nervous systems.

In this unique event with British critic Christian House, she explores the fascinating connections between art, literature and the workings of the mind. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology and philosophy, Hustvedt challenges the ways we look at, interpret and make meaning from the world around us.
