This program is organized in different sections corresponding to the makeup of the overall theme for this year’s festival, “The Imagination of Time.” While the first one explores “The Possibilities of Storytelling” from the viewpoint of “How to Document Time,” the second focuses on “Imaginary Time,” a concept derived from quantum mechanics, along with the potential of artwork. Exhibiting artists and researchers will be invited to the symposium to explore these themes while sharing specific examples from their different perspectives.
