Bringing together Khaled Jarrar, Sana Frini, Jean Shin, moderated by Emanuel Admassu, the conversation explores how territory is shaped, contested, and reimagined through diverse practices. How can artists and architects think both practically and aesthetically in the quest to remake space, identity, and belonging?

Performance with Khaled Jarrar.

The performance features a conversation with three matriarchal species, likely representing ancestral wisdom, environmental connection, and nurturing. An olive tree in pain from snow, a woman grieving the lost her son, a back goat running to the mountains for her life. A matriarchal resilience, eco-colonialism, grief, and the struggle between life-giving forces and destructive patriarchal power. A black goat as anti colonial destructive machine.

Grounded in shared cultural histories and local networks, La Vaughn Belle, Danny Báez, Christopher Cozier, and Daniela Fifi come together with moderator Tiana Webb-Evans to explore how community-led initiatives create space for new voices, material practices, and forms of artistic freedom in the Caribbean.
