“When people draw the music, they listen in a very deep way.”

From Buenos Aires to Tokyo, award-winning composer, pianist, and industrial designer Marco Sanguinetti explores how sound and image intertwine. Known for blending jazz, tango, and folklore into a contemporary Argentine sound, Marco merges his dual passions, music and design, to create projects where music can be seen. His innovative albums turn compositions into visual language, inviting artists and audiences alike to “draw the music” as they hear it. Through this poetic practice of listening with both ear and eye, Marco reveals how creativity, and humanity, resonates most deeply when it’s shared.

“Give up on your dreams—with an asterisk—because letting go of the impossible makes room for what is possible.”

When college freshman Beau Martin and his roommate Sam set out to build a wall-climbing, spray-painting robot, their goal was to change the face of Atlanta’s street art scene. What followed was a chaotic saga of melted motors, failed suction fans, and friendship tested by friction—literally and figuratively. Equal parts comedy, creativity, and humility, Beau’s story captures the spirit of DIY invention: dreaming big, breaking things, and learning that the best engineering breakthroughs sometimes come with heart (and l**e).

“This isn’t just about saving a building—it’s about giving people new reasons to explore it.”

Alan Denyer, known affectionately called “The Elephant Man,” shares his vision for transforming Coventry’s 1976 Sports and Leisure Centre, famously nicknamed The Elephant. With its vast halls, towering stairwells, and distinctive skyline presence, the building could be reborn as a free-to-visit hub for art, theatre, music, and community events. Blending DIY culture with bold urban imagination, Denyer pitches The Elephant as not just preservation, but reinvention—turning a relic of the past into a cultural heartbeat for Coventry’s future.

“When a community’s ties to a place are compromised, cultural and linguistic diversity is endangered.”

Filmmaker Daniel Quintanilla shares his work documenting endangered languages, from the Passamaquoddy-Maliseet of Maine to the Mixe people of Oaxaca, Mexico. His projects record natural conversations, traditions, and values—linking video archives to dictionaries and creating portals for language preservation. Quintanilla highlights how language is inseparable from identity, history, and land, and how community-led documentation offers hope. While the future of these languages is uncertain, the work affirms that visibility, participation, and cultural continuity are powerful tools against erasure.

“These margins of landscape, edges, scars, and transitions, hold their own wild beauty.”

Artist Anna King paints the overlooked edges of the landscape—abandoned greenhouses, quarries, and forestry clear-fell sites. What might appear as ruin or desolation becomes, through her eye, a place of transition and resilience. In her clear-fell paintings, skeletal tree lines and bone-white trunks give way to foxgloves, raspberries, and birch, showing nature’s rapid reclamation. King’s work captures the fragile, shifting balance between human mark-making and nature’s unstoppable return, revealing how even scarred land is full of life, memory, and quiet beauty.

“I always saw something more in a fishing net than just a tool or material.”

Designer Sarmite Polakova explores the threads of her identity through the nets her mother wove as a dragnet master in a small Latvian fishing village. What begins as a nostalgic reflection evolves into an evocative design project—transforming discarded fishing nets into a chair that cradles, shelters, and questions what it means to be held, caught, or left behind. It’s a poetic meditation on labor, lineage, and the quiet strength of women’s work.

“Knowledge work isn’t about constant focus—it’s about scaffolding your mind and body together.”

Jabe Bloom unpacks how our obsession with being busy blinds us to true productivity. Drawing from history, philosophy, and practical exercises, he offers scaffolding, timeboxing, and reflection as tools to shift from distraction and “monkey mind” toward mindful flow.

The Silence of the Cans

“She's dazzling, she's mesmerising. And yet, she's made of old Coca-Cola and beer cans.”

Presented by Joseph Tame on behalf of British artist Jon Homewood, this talk explores a life shaped by global movement—Africa, South America, Europe, Asia—and a practice shaped by waste. From discarded soda cans and wire, Homewood builds hauntingly beautiful human forms and creatures, weaving fragility and resilience into shimmering skin. Sculptures like Canzarella and Chimpy provoke us to reconsider value, waste, and renewal, asking whether what we throw away can become a vessel for memory, meaning, and critique.

“From punks to cowboys from fashion icons to movie stars, contrary to the nature of its form, denim has never faded.”

Amanda Lauro takes us on a journey through the remarkable history of denim, from its origins in 17th-century France to Levi Strauss’s gold rush–era workwear, through Hollywood westerns, postwar motorcycle culture, and the rebellious youth movements of the 1960s onward. Denim has evolved through flares, acid-wash, grunge, skinny jeans, and now sustainable innovation—but it has never left the cultural stage. Both utilitarian and iconic, denim remains a constant, worn across class, culture, and generations, embodying resilience, rebellion, and reinvention.
