In the meetings of the “7 plus 7 Places to Walk” – A 2 year laboratory of Ideas – all artists who participated or were present in WAC Encounters 2025 will have the chance to further discuss everything that took place in Prespa these 7 days, from June 30th to July 6th, 2025, and ruminate on the vision this process put into practice and the manifestos it created.
