Theme: Vínculos | Strong Bonds

O que nos liga aos outros, aos lugares, ao mundo; o que nos mantém unidos; o que nos dá identidade e significado; o que nos faz pertencer; o que cria confiança, envolvimento, propósito. Quais são os relacionamentos de que dependemos para dar lógica à vida e o que acontece quando essa lógica é desafiada. Quantas ligações ignoramos e quantas coisas aparentemente sem conexão estão ligadas das formas mais extraordinárias.

Numa altura em que parece que o que nos separa é muito mais do que aquilo que nos une, é urgente compreender que temos o poder de construir um futuro alternativo baseado em novos vínculos.

What connects us to others, to places, to the world; what keeps us united; what gives us identity and meaning; what makes us belong; what creates trust, involvement, purpose. What are the relationships that we depend on to bring logic to our lives and what happens when that logic is challenged. How many connections we don't know of and how many things seemingly unrelated are connected in the most extraordinary ways.

At a time when it feels that what divides us is far greater than what unites us it's urgent to understand that we have the power to build an alternative future based on new strong bonds.
