“The visitors may influence what happens, through interaction, conversation or by their very presence. There will always be something to see, to inspire and engage. Come with an open mind; every day will be different.
“Can the experience of being displaced offer a fresh perspective, unexpected connections and a new understanding?
September 5-29: Mon-Fri 11am-3pm (7pm Wed).
Closing party Wed 27, 4-7pm.
