Red Book Dialogues: James Hillman & Sonu Shamdasani

Artists, thinkers, and cultural icons are paired on stage with Jungian analysts or scholars and invited to respond to and interpret a folio from Jung’s Red Book as a starting point for a wide-ranging conversation. This series is based on a series that originated at the Rubin Museum of Art, New York.

The father of Archetypal Psychology, James Hillman is a leading scholar in Jungian thought and is recognized as a leading critic and observer of contemporary culture. Sonu Shamdasani is an historian of psychology and psychiatry and the Philemon Professor of Jung History at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University College, London. He is the author of several books, including Jung and the Making of Modern Psychology: The Dream of a Science. In 2009 he edited and translated Jung’s Red Book.
