TO BE: Conversation and Deep-Listening Session with Wolfgang Buttress and Karman Line Collectiv

This evening begins with a live conversation with Wolfgang Buttress, exploring the ways of approaching art and design as a means of extending and amplifying human potential. Together, we will reflect on the role of the built environment in shaping our everyday lives, and how working with, rather than against, natural systems might help us imagine and cultivate different futures, both individually and collectively.

The talk will gently transition into a deep-listening session of TO BE, the debut album by Karman Line Collective. The listening experience will be accompanied by a living scent-scape made from bee propolis - a precious creation offered by bees and a medium Wolfgang Buttress works with, creating a sensorial space where sound, matter, and ecology converge.

Between 19:30 - 22:00 you may join at any time you like. Please confirm participation via second event link at Sense Ability's website in the programme section.
