​Miami Art Week 2025
Theme: The Living Originals
Date: December 5, 2025

​CONVERSATION: Damson Idris
MODERATOR: Jamaal Burkmar

​Saint Sessions Live is where the most compelling creators of our time open up and let you into their world. Each session is intimate, cinematic, and intentional — crafted to reveal the philosophies, stories, and creative blueprints that rarely surface in interviews or press.

​This edition of Saint Sessions Live delves into a fundamental truth at the heart of culture: cinema has always been both a mirror and a megaphone — reflecting who we are while shaping what we become. As part of The Living Originals, this film segment features a dynamic conversation with Damson Idris on the evolution of storytelling, the intersection of art and identity, and the power of owning one’s narrative on and off-screen.

​Set against the backdrop of Miami Art Week, the conversation explores how film serves as both an archive and a prophecy — documenting the present while shaping the future. From directing to acting to producing, each guest embodies what it means to live as an original: unfiltered, self-defined, and creatively sovereign.

​Guided by Jamaal Burkmar, this conversation explores what it truly means to become an artist and a human being in motion. This session explores evolution, discipline, identity, and the inner journey that shapes public image. Guided by Jamaal Burkmar, Damson Idris opens up about the moments, choices, and creative instincts that define his path.

​At Saint Sessions Live, you’re close enough to feel the honesty, the humor, the brilliance, and the sparks of inspiration as they unfold. Every moment is crafted to shift something in you — to expand how you see creativity, identity, and the power of original thought.

​Dress Code: creatively effortless, art-forward.
