The film observes the movements and boundaries of bodies within these spaces, interrogating notions of violence and belonging in the spatial practices of everyday life.
> “The circle is the opposite of a corner, one can hardly transform into the other. The circle is life, time, memory and universes. What binds us together, enabling us to exist side by side. A corner is not a circle. It’s not a square, at least not a complete one. A corner is a space that exists in three dimensions. We live among corners, and often, it feels as though we are constantly being pushed from one corner to another. To push back is to reclaim your space. To resist and to refuse being in the corner... We can only be pushed, guided, or perhaps choose to move into corners when we are alone when we do not realize the power of standing together. The weight of collective memory is a cycle, heavy and persistent.”

> Heat waves, floods, fires, and other climate disasters are becoming increasingly visible—and increasingly deadly. Yet as the climate crisis intensifies, climate change seems to be receding from public debate.

Sailing beyond Hodood: Kites of plastic, toys of stone
> This panel explores our relationship with childhood, toys, and play through personal stories and experiences from Gaza. From the toys we loved, gave away, or were forced to leave behind, to the games children create when no toys or safe spaces are available, the conversation reflects on how the genocide and displacement reshape the meaning of play. It also looks at memory, imagination, loss, and children’s right to play, asking what happens to childhood when toys disappear.
