An experiment; an attempt to unshackle the intellect from the restrictive disciplinary processes of specialization, and celebrate unbridled interdisciplinary discourses – the harmonious coexistence and perhaps even coalescence (or contamination) of philosophy with literature, politics and art. Treating the ridiculous, absurd, and even the irrational, with respect and genuine curiosity; and challenging the established everyday norms for simply being too suspicious. This celebration, this spontaneous and fortuitous event, is called Shoppinghour; an event that provides access, a platform, for starting discussions and exchanging ideas without restrictions: an intellectual liberation that dares to creatively approach matters of urgent political and cultural relevance with a respect that never takes itself too seriously.
