Discussing their curatorial journey, the speakers explore how a culturally diverse team of artists and curators helped build a coherent narrative and vision for the festival. Additionally, the panelists talk about the newly commissioned artworks for Light Years Apart. They note how these installations reflect the latest technologies but maintain an age-old connection to the earth and stars, symbolizing the human ambition to transcend creative horizons.
