Marine Tanguy : The Visual Detox
In The Visual Detox, art expert and businesswoman Marine Tanguy explains how the imagery we see shapes our wellbeing. She gives us new tools to think critically about images, combat information overload and participate more in the visual world around us by engaging with the art and content that improves our day-to-day experiences online, at work, in our homes and in public spaces.

Francesca Ciaudano is the Founder of The CoWell, including The CoWell Design with neuroaesthetics applied to interior design objects. She is an Italian artist, writer and sound therapist.
Francesca left an international corporate career, tirelessly built over 25 years, to pursue art. She is now a full-time abstract painter on a mission to revolutionise how art is viewed, and to highlight its benefits for mental and emotional wellbeing – a life philosophy she named Beingfullness™.
 
Francesca's most recent lecture on Art for Healing was held at Fabriano In Acquarello (a UNESCO Creative City).
 
One of her works has been featured in a short film by the Academy Award-winning filmmaker Juan Carlos Zaldívar, as well as on ikonotv.art and the Global Fine Art Awards channel. Francesca's work was also included in Better Living, a Dubai-based home interiors magazine, and in the first beyond neutral gallery, C2Zero Art in Australia.

Noor sees mobility as an integral part of the human experience. She also experiences that globalization changes the way in which we understand our sense of belonging. The world has become our home, while this global accessibility has also outgrown our understanding of home. Noor is curious to explore how we, as individuals and societies, can strengthen our embodied sense of belonging to ourselves, our communities, and nature – regardless of the geographical location. How may we come home and feel rooted again?
At the age of 16, Noor moved by herself to New Mexico where she finished the last two years of her high school. After obtaining degrees in political science, history and international development in Germany and Switzerland, Noor moved all over the world to work with communities on matters of migration and displacement. She spoke with hundreds of people on their migratory experience, including in Libya, Chad, Iraq, Uganda, Congo, and Palestine. After more than ten years abroad, she lived through her own sense of uprootedness upon return to the Netherlands. Currently, Noor is integrating her lived experience in her work as policy maker, entrepreneur and speaker. 
Through Rooted, Noor intends to create a space where people can consciously and jointly reflect on their sense of rootedness.
