On Belonging: How to dwell somewhere in between
What does it mean to belong when home is never one place alone? The artists on this panel reflect on lives and practices formed between cultures, countries, and identities. Their stories remind us that in-betweenness is not just displacement, but also possibility.

On Dissonance: How to find power in vulnerability
Dissonance can feel like fracture, but it can also be strength. In this conversation, artists share how they work with fragility, conflict, and contradiction to create new forms of expression. Vulnerability becomes not a weakness but a source of power.

On Yearning: How to sense the world
Yearning is not just an emotion, it's a way of perceiving. This session brings together writers and curators to ask how longing shapes our senses—how it can guide us to notice things we might otherwise overlook. From literature to visual art, the panel explores how desire becomes a tool for seeing the world differently.
