For An Other to exist, encountering others is necessary, and why EdKe exists. As event of abundant love and compelling contradictions, this manifestation includes installations as life-like art; related to a pedagogy to avoid polarizing politics. In pursuit of creating this ‘solo’ show, spectators were co-producers.
