This panel brings together creative partners from the Biennial and explores how collaboration shapes artistic processes and outcomes — expanding artistic possibilities, challenging individual perspectives, and fostering mutual growth. The collaborators, working across different art and craft practices, will share the stories behind their joint projects, reflecting on the joys and frictions of working together. Through their experiences, the panel will examine how trust, dialogue, and shared vision lead to a collective act of creation.

The talk will be available with simultaneous translation for all attendees.
