The Power of Human Connection in the Digital Age

Against an ever-changing political, cultural, and technological landscape, Platon calls for constructive optimism and unity. Leaving audiences enthralled, Platon explores the poignant and riveting stories behind his renowned portraits, showcasing his extraordinary ability to penetrate the barriers of his sometimes weary subjects. He reveals the lessons in leadership and compassion that he’s learnt from some of the world’s most prominent figures — like George Clooney, Condoleezza Rice, Adele, Nicole Kidman, Muhammad Ali, Edward Snowden, Stephen Hawking, heads of state and government, U.S. military heroes and human rights champions — and how they can be applied to our everyday interactions.

“Something is fundamentally shifting in the values of our society,” says Platon. “As we learn to navigate the forces of AI and respond to global disruption and uncertainty, we must remind ourselves that genuine human connection and real emotional intelligence bind our society together. It’s time to celebrate a new set of cultural heroes: those who inspire us with their courage, their curiosity and their compassion.”
