Amaranta. Flare has developed a design concept that embraces this year's curatorial theme Where We Stand and its key ideas of design fostering an inspiring sense of belonging, connection, community, and purpose. The simple act of sitting next to someone is one of the most collective gestures of unity, allowing us to create the beginning of a community and lead to our forthcoming identities.
