In preparation for the creation of a new site-specific performance, Jay Pather&#8217;s project in New York, &#8220;Surface Tension&#8221;, questions the interactions between people in public space and their ability to create a common ground.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Bahia Bencheickh El Fegoun\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Connecting peoples is the starting point of filmmaker Bahia Bencheikh El Fegoun&#8217;s project. Blending ancient rituals and militant feminism, it presents activism as a global movement uniting Algeria, a former revolutionary Mecca, with the US and its fight toward rights for all minorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Judith Okonkwo\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Developing political and social activism through access to digital technologies for all is the challenge that Judith Okonkwo issues to US companies. Innovation drives all her projects, from running hackathons on education and healthcare to producing teaching kits and immersive films. From coast to coast in the\u00a0 US, she will meet with tech companies to discuss access to emerging and immersive technologies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Missla Libsekal\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cultural resistance is a recurring theme in the approach of Ethiopia-born contemporary art curator Missla Libsekal.
