Culture can chill us out and provide an escape from our daily grind, while it can also be ennobling and can create space to resist things we oppose. Here our interlocutors explain how culture should be consumed on a daily basis

This month’s Focus article explores these questions through interviews with representatives of cultural institutions. Their insights shed light on the role of cultural activities in our lives, particularly during the peak summer months, when we aren’t as busy with work and have more time to devote to ourselves and to feeding the soul.
