Tusk & Quill will host an interview & workshop session with Peter Schmidt, co-founder & Program Director of the Strother School of Radical Attention in New York City. The conversation will focus on the school's approach to designing a curriculum aimed at reconnecting individuals with their faculty of attention, as well as its broader efforts to cultivate attention as a shared social & civic concern.
The session will include a discussion with Peter, followed by audience Q&A & a series of guided attention practices.
##
CONTEXT
In an age of constant notifications, infinite scroll, & algorithmic feeds, our connection & command over our own attention is increasingly threatened.
What was once a basic, & even sacred human faculty is now a contested resource-shaped, fragmented, & often commodified by the technologies we use every day. In response, a growing movement of thinkers & practitioners has begun to ask how we can actively reclaim our attention?
This session explores the emerging idea of attention activism-a cultural & philosophical response to the erosion of our attentional lives. What does it look like to rebuild the habits, environments, & forms of awareness that allow for deeper focus, presence, & agency?
