2024 Collaboration : Entangled
We began the 2024 collaboration by establishing the theme: Entangled.
This theme embodies a multifaceted concept that can encompass various dimensions of complexity, connection, and involvement. It can describe an intricately interwoven or interconnected state, whether in relationships, systems, or ideas. It might suggest a complex web of emotions, thoughts, or events that are deeply intertwined, potentially leading to confusion or conflict. Metaphorically, it could signify being caught up in a problematic situation or being ensnared by circumstances beyond one’s control. Alternatively, entangled might evoke imagery of being immersed in a rich and intricate tapestry of experiences, where every thread contributes to the overall pattern of existence. It could also convey a sense of being profoundly involved or invested in something, positively or negatively.
Partners found each other in various ways: a speed-dating meeting, gatherings to meet fellow members, and even a few “blind dates.” Some members found themselves intrigued by women they knew only by name. Others were captivated by new sides of members they already counted as friends. Long-time members paired with brand new members. New members summoned up the courage to work with someone unknown. Many members picked partners they didn’t know well to see where the challenge of the theme of Entangled would take them.
