About The Talk

In her talk, Jaye will engage with what lies within the process of art-making — those uncertain yet magical moments when communication falters, even falls apart, and yet connection still occurs. She will explore how misunderstanding, imitation, and longing can create unexpected forms of truth. The talk traces the transformation of a miscopied utopia into a real one, and those fleeting moments when that fragile truth can be felt.
