Parties are a form of ritual — or can be. Since early history, rituals have been integral to how people come together. In this study, with the guidance of philosopher Byung-Chul Han, we’ll think about what constitutes a ritual, and how rituals appear and disappear from our contemporary lives.

Join us in close attention to the tea ceremony, the changing landscape of Chinatown, and the interplay between noise and silence that characterizes urban life. What might we regain by returning to ritual?
