Funded Projects

We aim to integrate state-of-the-art empirical approaches from psychology, neuroscience, and phenomenology to conduct a series of investigations that identify specific types of experiences with art, to connect these to changes at individual (neurocognitive, emotional, health) and societal (prosocial and political attitudes) levels. HU is involved in capturing these experiences in leading museums and urban centers across Europe and everyday life. We also contribute to the contextualization of the empirical data using theoretical approaches from philosophy as well as political science and art criticism. We aim to combine this empirical and theoretical focus with a series of interventions, workshops, and experimentations co-created with art schools, urban planners, artists, and galleries.
