Join us to close EAF25 with an afternoon of open conversation, film screenings, performance, and shared food, centred on the world we live in — how we shape it, and how it shapes us in return.

This intimate gathering brings together artists from across the programme alongside local collectives and thinkers, creating space for reflection and exchange.

How can looking to the past help us move collectively through times of crisis? The conversation will reflect on ancestral knowledge, cultural memory, and resistance to disconnection from place, through both radical acts and quiet gestures of care. The gathering offers space to hold the weight of these conversations together, and to imagine how art can bridge the wisdom of the past with a sustainable, interconnected future.

! Includes in-depth discussion of colonialism and conflict.
