Often misunderstood and underestimated, Yoko Ono is one of the most quietly radical artists of our time. Long before mindfulness became mainstream, her work invited people to slow down, listen, imagine, and participate — offering softness as a form of strength.
In this talk, Solange explores Ono’s art through themes every woman recognises: care, collaboration, invisibility, and emotional labour. Together we’ll look at how Ono used gentleness, instruction, and imagination to challenge power structures — and why women’s quiet creative work is so often overlooked.
