Diversity is a crucial factor in creating a representative and inclusive societal structure. Across various fields, diversity has been emphasized as an essential component of education and community development. Through the festival, we aim to contribute to realizing these goals by facilitating conversations that challenge and enrich our understanding of inclusion and norms. We view disabilities as a source of innovative perspectives in design and architecture. Through this, we aspire to shape a more inclusive and diverse future for everyone.
