Activist. Artist. Investor. Annette Blum has played many roles in her journey across the world, but she is¿as she reminds us¿an observer first and foremost. Her observations allow us to delve into new situations, as explorers rooted in social consciousness. From a refugee camp in Greece to an arts festival in Jerusalem, and from an Italian take on Brexit to a globalist take on gun violence, this collection of Blum¿s dispatches from the last 3 years takes us through a new landscape of people and perspectives. ¿ ¿It is my opinion it is essential for artists to think beyond the strict boundaries of critical thought and test the limits of what is possible¿and dare to challenge our norms and our beliefs.¿ ¿ Annette Blum
