Project in partnership with the Not Festival.                                                                                                                                                            The title chosen for this edition of the "NOT FESTIVAL" is offered as a framework. Participants can get in and out of it; re-frame it; re-conceptualize it; and fully remove themselves from it to allow meaning to be created in tandem with their creative process.
