Day 2 further closed the distance between the screen and the spectator. Thank you to our incredible audiences for bringing your curiosity, and to our artists for sharing your worlds so generously with us.
After another fruitful day of deep conversations and eye-opening screenings, the energy shifted with ‘In the Zone: A Happening', when body movements and music brought the space to an entirely new horizon.
