Bringing together artists, scholars, psychotherapists, and practitioners from around the world, the 2026 Attention and Flourishing Conference at the University of Navarra examined the undertheorized relationship between the virtue of attention, mental health, and the flourishing of individuals and communities. Hosted in the University's Museum, the conference explored the modes of attention at play in artistic practices and the spaces dedicated to them, considering how such approaches can foster richer notions of mental health, wellbeing, and the life well-lived.
Plenary Speakers:
Princeton University
King's College London
Georgetown University
Belmont University
Boston College
Artist, Writer & Filmmaker
Registration is closed!
