In her piece Open Letter Pleas & Pains, Katie experiments with a new medium to investigate the effect of converting a political document to a spatial experience. She has written a hybrid Open Letter to both the general public and the cultural sector in an attempt to transfer the emotions that motivate her desperate plea for reforms. Half poetry, half formality, her soundpiece is a first draft of an upcoming letter, which will later be open for participation and co-editing.

Ra’fat shares the trailer for his film project “𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙾𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚎.” The project explores the themes of hybrid-identity and belonging, focusing on the challenges and experiences of living between different cultures. Through his work, he aims to shed light on what it means to find your place in a world shaped by mixed identities.
