How are you? How was your day? Would you like a cup of tea? Questions we ask every day.

So many questions, all of them important in one way or another. But what are the biggest questions in your life?

When we talk to one another, progress is made, problems are solved, and heartache is lifted. After all, they say that a problem shared is a problem solved.

Many of us require a catalyst to cause certain conversations, whether that be an overload of emotion, the prompt from a loved one, or a significant event. Or, in fact, a question.

Art can cause conversation in the form of contemplative exploration. It can be a source of inspiration, not just to other creatives, but to all viewers, prompting internal thinking or externally sharing on various worldly topics.

Through stirring strong emotions and educating, art can be the catalyst for vast social change, bringing communities together and harbouring inspiration for a better and changed future.

The art of the Sainsbury Centre is able to help reframe and answer the most important questions in their lives. It is not a museum to only learn more about artists, cultures or movements like Francis Bacon, the Tang Dynasty or Modernism, it is a place of experience, where collections are animate and visitors are emotionally connected.

You are invited to touch Henry Moore’s Mother and Child sculpture, embrace her, hug her. As you close your eyes, you are asked to remember your first memory of people embraced as a child. How did that feel?

With each six-month season, a different Big Question from our lives is explored across the arts landscape, through artist interventions and exhibitions, to conversations, writings, interviews and events.

There is no intention for there to be an answer or a solution to these questions. Instead, conversations will be started, thoughts shared, inspiration fostered, and ultimately, change made, whether that be great or small.

It is all to easy to get stuck into routine, to lapse into what is most easy and convenient, to watch too much “trash” TV - who else tells themselves they won’t be watching Love Island this year, and next thing you know, how outrageous that he spoke like that to her when he was saying something else to someone else!?

There is a space for those things - and please, give them space - but when we invest in things which feed our soul - have meaningful conversations over dinner, read, listen, attend, explore - we, quite simply, blossom.

I have been surrounded by interesting thoughts, expansive ideas and shared thinking more than usual of late. Perhaps the sun coming out has something to do with it, but I feel more contemplative and connected. It is because I have been having discussions about big questions within life, talking around the topics on subjects I have never given time to.

So far, the Sainsbury Centre has explored How do we adapt in a transforming world? and What is Truth?. In September, the art museum will ask Why Do We Take Drugs?, before it investigates Can Our Seas Survive Us?.

But what could future questions be?

How might humans reach their full potential as a collective?

What should we value?

Do we only have five senses?

Do we all have an internal monologue?

Do we have an aura?

Are we feeling lonelier?

What makes you afraid?

If people care about the health of the planet, why is nature still under threat?

How does nature know what to do?

What makes people successful?

What is beautiful?

How can I be happy?

So my final question to you is this: What are the biggest questions in your life?
