KISMET* - ZENDEH Lab full day session.

KISMET* will translate identities exploring where they fuse in their origin, migration and the other worldly place created by the experience of diasporas.

Kismet- is translated and animated through Identity.

Is identity defined by a moment of meaningful eye contact in a place where boundaries are shifting?

Have you felt the strong feeling of being a nomad and knowing the feeling of the world changing around you and feeling its pulse.

Have you found yourself in a place that you feel like you know how to navigate and at the same time you could be known to be a stranger.

As a traveller out of time and space you are a survivor and your dreams are the echoes of your past and fragments of your future.
