Born in 1933, Yoko Ono has engaged with some of the most tragic and inspiring events of the 20th century – from the fire-bombing of Tokyo during the Second WOrld War and the death of her late husband, John Lennon, to her involvement with Fluxus and the ‘Bed-In for Peace’. Despite, or perhaps because of her storied past, Ono refuses to weigh herself down with the burdens of legacy and pushes forward with greater ambition than before. Here, she speaks to the need for perpetual renewal and collective leadership in an age where time is elf is becoming less of an obstacle.
