Charitable organization, zeit-geist 19 is a research-led cultural enterprise that specializes in educational and cultural programs, lectures, workshops, public talks and debates, screenings, master-classes, and round tables with distinguished creative individuals, pioneers of contemporary art & culture, emerging talents, environmentalists, and entrepreneurs.
Each era has a unique spirit - a nature or climate that sets it apart from every other epoch. In German, this is known as the Zeitgeist, from the words Zeit - time and Geist - spirit. Certain thinkers have asserted that the true zeitgeist of an era cannot be known until that era has passed, others have declared that only artists and philosophers can adequately make sense of it.
Our aim is to gather representatives from various cultural segments under the umbrella of this philosophical concept, in order to explore the spirit of today.

Explore the Spirit of Now
Through the Lens of Art & Sustainability
ZEITGEIST 19 strives to generate a community of thinkers, who share a similar passion for progress and appreciation for meaningful and thoughtful art. One of the major aims of ZG19 is to further develop an understanding of the social within art, design, music, cinematography, architecture and sustainability, as well as to provide an experimental platform for research and exposure of innovative practices. Our aim is to raise awareness of current critical social and environmental issues though the language of 'conscious' art.
Our initiative seeks to inspire social change by providing an ‘alternative space’, which connects art directly to spectator, within a new setting - a democratic and interactive environment, where one can enjoy a curious voyage of exploration into the world of art. The core of our project is to make artistic practice of our speakers more accessible, bringing it to people through thoughtfully curated social interdisciplinary experiences.
