Salon After D’Arc: The Gift of Heartbreak

Salon After D’Arc returns with four thought-provoking evenings exploring the forces that shape how we love and remember.

Guided by host Jamila Rizvi (Deputy Managing Director of Future Women), The Gift of Heartbreak explores heartbreak beyond melodrama and as a deeply human experience that reshapes us emotionally, physically and creatively.

Journey through the history of heartbreak with artist and academic Drew Pettifer, followed by a behind-the-scenes look into his featured work on display at Rebel Heart, a response to the story of Captain Moonlight.

Artist and content creator Celeste Mountjoy will examine the power of heartbreak as a creative force. Hear Dr Michelle Lim (CEO and Scientific Chair, Ending Loneliness Together) in conversation with Jamila on how loneliness is a current key social, health and economic issue.
