During a 12 hour stream artists, architects, 
designers, writers and scientists share their 
ideas, thoughts and projects, around this year's 
theme: "Longue Durée."

"Longue Durée" literally means "long duration." 
It is a view of history first introduced by the 
French historian Fernand Braudel. Braudel's 
"Longue Durée" allows us to interpret crises as 
opportunities for fundamental structural change. 
Art is one mean by which we can reimagine 
existing paradigms to accommodate new discoveries 
and create new realities.

Artists Etel Adnan, Simone Fattal, Gabriel 
Chaile, Michel Auder, Isabelle Lewis, Not Vital,
