The unexpected encounter
Manifesto, educational program and library about the encounter and human connections.
Whether a brief moment of eye contact or the first meeting with the love of your life, every form of encounter is a mystery, because you never know ahead of time who you will meet or how you will meet them.
Using insights from writers, thinkers, and artists, this manifesto explores the role of ‘the (unexpected) encounter’ as an artistic and connective act.
In 2024, over 1,400 people participated in our workshops and educational programs. Thank you for your support—we look forward to hosting even more workshops in 2025!
