The 14th-century tale of Saint Roch (Rocco) and his canine companion recounts the pair’s selfless compassion and care for those suffering. Join us to explore how today, amid global challenges such as pandemics and social isolation, the story serves as a reminder of the importance of humanitarian values and solidarity.
This talk is part of Gray Area, a series that features members of our staff exploring artworks that capture the complexities of humanity, political landscapes, ethics, ideologies, power dynamics, and critical thinking in our times. Through this series, we hope to encourage people to observe and consider their own individual gray areas, and to think about how their unique experiences guide the choices they make.
