The Facts

The Southbank Centre in London will host "Rooted to the Ground: A Philosophical Workshop" on November 6 and 7, 2026, led by community philosophers Andy West and Kate Halliwell. The workshop is tied to the Koestler Arts exhibition "Rock, Paper, Scissors" and invites participants to engage with the artwork to explore philosophical questions about roots. The event is free but requires a ticket and takes place at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.

The Signal

The workshop exemplifies the Southbank Centre's commitment to accessible, interdisciplinary programming that connects art with broader societal themes. By linking philosophy to the Koestler Arts exhibition, which showcases work by prisoners and ex-offenders, the event encourages deeper reflection on identity and belonging, offering a model for how cultural institutions can foster community dialogue.
