THE EYELAND

This year’s theme, On the Eyeland, aims to explore this abstract idea, resulting in utopian and dystopian realities, challenging individuals to realistically evaluate the action of peace in their daily practices.

We live on an Eyeland, a special bubble running on idyllic values that meets everyone’s desires, where peace and understanding are possible even with no singular definition. You could call it perfect. But, how can you define perfection? And how do you achieve it? Do we have to rely on dystopian practices to achieve this utopia? The more we think about it, this utopia turns into a dystopia. Does this mean we need conflict to have peace?

The establishment of idealistic and chaotic cultures within the conference will allow our community to discover whether peace perspectivism is involved in setting the character of society. Through art exhibitions and interactive experiences we encourage you to question your ideals, which arise from our pursuit of understanding and concretizing perfection.
