A Conversation with Professor Borja Santos
Join us for an intimate conversation with Professor Borja Santos, Associate Dean at IE School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs, and photographer behind the exhibition El Hilo Invisible de la Curiosidad.
In this session, Borja will share his journey into photography and documentary work, how creativity has shaped his professional life, and why curiosity remains essential in an increasingly fast, automated world. The event will combine a short guided walk-through of his exhibition with a panel-style conversation and open Q&A.
This is a unique opportunity to hear from someone who bridges academia, global impact, and creative practice, and to reflect on how art and purpose can coexist with demanding professional careers.
