2023 Cleveland Humanities Festival: WELLNESSMARCH 13, 2023FEATUREDHUMANITIES, ART & SOCIAL SCIENCES 0
This spring, the eighth Cleveland Humanities Festival continues its annual exploration of some of society’s most pressing issues and concerns—through the lens of a single topic
This March through May, the 2023 Cleveland Humanities Festival (CHF) will probe one of the most objective and subjective topics in all humankind—wellness—through art, literature, music and more at 35-plus free public events throughout Northeast Ohio.
Marking its eighth year, the 2023 CHF will feature a diverse lineup of speakers and performers, including a lecture by a child-development specialist, a conversation about transgenerational trauma and an exploration of how comics have documented and responded to the shifting landscape of mental health in America.
“Few topics today are as relevant, important and vital to our society as wellness and what it means to flourish, individually and collectively,” said Michele Tracy Berger, director of the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University, which is leading the festival.
The festival involves more than 30 diverse institutions and represents one of the most inclusive and wide-ranging cultural collaborations in a region known for its arts and humanities excellence.
“Everyone is invited to join in as we dive into this timely topic,” said Berger, the Eric and Jane Nord Family Professor at the university’s College of Arts and Sciences. “The performances, lectures, workshops and events should elicit questions and stimulate curiosity. Together we’ll learn, consider and discuss the power, uses and abuses of a concept that can mean so many different things to so many people.”
Most of the CHF’s programs are free, although some require online registration.
