Empathy considers touch, connection and human emotion in our concepts of the future
Moving through this festival, we’ve seen artists question our structures and now we segue into another theme of work: empathy. In this historical moment it feels so urgent to engage in empathy. We are marching, we are connecting, we are crying, we are hurting, we are celebrating progress, we are experiencing, we are learning, we are calling out, we are calling on, we are planting, we are burning, we are rebuilding, we are exhausted and there is more work to be done and it is due now. The work from these collection of artists use empathy as an impetus to drive collaborations, as a practice of reflection, and as a way to reconsider how we interact with our environments. We invite you to sit with these works, visit, re-visit, feel, fuel and repeat. It is my hope that with this practice of empathy we can navigate the future as a collective.
