Last year, LACMA hosted a conversation between the Museum’s Director and Archbishop Desmond Tutu; a program entitled How to Be Happy, Change the World, & Embrace a New Way to Be Human. First, of all, it is simply amazing and worth noting that this type of dialogue would occur at an art museum, and I think we all know for good reason. The conversation centered on spiritual paths to being more human, and connecting with the world and others in meaningful ways that bring about profound world change, like ending apartheid. Archbishop Tutu stressed the importance of listening, and making decisions to connect with others in human interactions each and every day. And he made a rather profound statement. He said:“I need you to make me human, and you need me to make you human.”
