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.

ZEITGEIST19 is thrilled to be releasing ZG19 THE PODCAST, Season I: Perpetual Dimensions during one of the most challenging moments in recent history. In these trying times, our team remains ever so committed to its cause - exploring the spirit of Now through the lens of art and sustainability, while bringing people and ideas together in an effort to raise awareness and enhance conversations around ecological injustice, social inequality and other pressing issues of our age. Today in a completely new realm, the founders of ZG19 Farah Piriye and Elizabeth Zhivkova will be running broad ranging discussions featuring leading minds of our time. We are convinced the decade provides a strategic opportunity to rethink cultural diversity, peace and tolerance in our fragile globalized world. In this Season we are also joining forces with Milan based design studio MdA agency, to broadcast a series of conversations dedicated to the dilemma of multiculturalism in relation to the current global isolation. Having experienced the terrifying pandemic, which affects all segments of our living, one wonders Are we really in this together or have never been this much apart?
