Dear Lea
Congratulations for the A2K Conference, you stay at the first line of fire, I really admire your energy and engagement.
I would like also to know a little more about possible engagement of artists (painters, sculptors, etc.) in the A2K movement.
Is there any ?
Are there any essays/speeches/material about how this species of creators see the A2K ?
I would like myself to give a speech at an Arts University in Germany and think this could be a good point to start with.
I think that we need to get also the creativity of this people on board (if they are not already there).
Hoping that you read this e-mail and that we may renew our exchange
Warm personal regards, Konstantinos
