Abstract: The Verbier Art Summit is an international platform for discourse in a non-transactional context. The non-profit Summit connects thought leaders to key figures in the art world to generate innovative ideas and drive social change. This is the third in the Summit publication series, disseminating key insights of the 2019 Summit and extending a global dialogue on the political power of art. We are Many: Art, the Political and Multiple Truths is the outcome of the Verbier Art Summit held from 31 January to 2 February 2019 in Verbier, Switzerland. The theme of the 2019 Verbier Art Summit and this accompanying publication were conceived by partnering museum director Jochen Volz of Pinacoteca de São Paulo, Brazil. This publication features 15 contributions from artists such as Rirkrit Tiravanija, Tania Bruguera, and Ernesto Neto; alongside notable museum curators/directors such as Jessica Morgan (Director of Dia Art Foundation), Maria Balshaw (Director of Tate), and Gabi Ngcobo (Director of the 10th Berlin Biennale).
