PRESS RELEASE

Theme: Re(Cover) Story

Daily front pages across platforms circulate crisis, desperation and disasters, fueling division and despair. Our focus fragmented, analysis paralyzed, we struggle to discern urgent news from narratives designed to mask them. War, post-pandemic economic doom, scarcity, conflicts, inflation, deficit, unregulated AI, climate apocalypse, displacement, and new wars broadcast a hopeless reading of our times.
