This conversation took place on November 18th 2023 as part of the PhotoVogue Festival 2023 which centered around the theme “What Makes us Human?: Image in the Age of A.I.”
In this profound and introspective evening session, a distinguished panel of experts from the realms of psychoanalysis, theology, and human physiology come together to explore the fundamental question: "What Makes Us Human?".
