Sifra Coulet
Embark on a captivating exploration of 'The World of Emotions' at the Amsterdam Roots Festival! Commissioned by Amsterdam Roots, conceptual artist Sifra Coulet, with a unique background in psychology and practical philosophy, presents an interactive performance that will enrich your perspective on yourself and the world around you!
This performance is inspired by the book Emotions Between Us by Batja Mesquita. In it, she demonstrates that the Western emphasis on individual emotions as internal feelings is not universal. In many other cultures, emotions are seen as relational and contextually determined. Together with the visitors, Sifra will explore the cultural construction of emotion.
This performance is an invitation to question your own assumptions about emotions and discover how cultural backgrounds influence our emotional expression and interpretation. Share your story, listen to others, and be amazed by the diversity of perspectives that color our emotions.
