What is silence? Ten people, ten answers.<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t

Ten very different lives, one question \u2013 captured in short, powerful video portraits.<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/a>\r\n\r\n\t<\/header>\r\n\r\n\t

More and more men are looking for role models who show their feelings. Valerio, Frank, Noah and Tom do just that. Four perspectives that show masculinity is something you can shape.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n

New Work didn\u2019t start with the pandemic but with the radical vision of a thinker in the 1980s. His ideas are more relevant today than ever.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
