Marina Abramović: THE BUS

“THE BUS is a mobile capsule where people can experience a connection to the present moment and to themselves in silence. It is an invitation to an inner journey that becomes a shared experience.” – Marina Abramović

THE BUS is a former school bus that has been transformed into a mobile experiential space. It is a blend of a moving sculpture and a mobile meditation capsule that invites the audience to embark on an inner journey. It’s about slowing down and sharing an experience that brings people together. www.the-bus.world

In collaboration with the Art x Science Office, THE BUS is making a stop at the University of Zurich, focusing on the themes of mindfulness, mental health, and conflict and peace research. Through dialogue with researchers at the University of Zurich, THE BUS creates a space for dialogue that brings together people from very diverse backgrounds.
