Sometimes Doing Nothing Leads To Something

What if a moment of ‘nothing’ or apparent ‘void’ could prompt a creative potential? Sometimes Doing Nothing Leads to Something is a special programme offering scenes for an evolving and multiform series of talks and installations in order to challenge the nature of Nothing during this ambiguous and uncertain moment.
