Activities

How can we understand borders differently? Architect and researcher Nishat Awan explores how stories, maps, and technologies shape our view of migration and displacement. In this FRONT ROW lecture, she talks about Topological Atlas, a poetic research project that makes migration visible through digital, sensory, and human perspectives.

This evening offers a diverse and unfiltered insight into sex work. Discover how sex work spaces operate, the choices and challenges involved, and how the people working there use their bodies, intimacy, and fantasies in their practice.

Discover the work of Pauline Curnier Jardin and how she weaves rituals, stories, and imagination into films, installations, and performances. On 30 October, she will present her practice and discuss freedom, resistance, and collective narratives.
