&#8220;The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. Each evening we see the sun set. We know that the earth is turning away from it. Yet the knowledge, the explanation, never quite fits the sight.&#8221; John Berger, Ways of Seeing. 
Addressing the theme ‘Look through the image’, the expansive Now or Never 2024 program invites audiences to interrogate what’s in front of them, explore deeper meanings, contemplate layers of symbolism and question reality – from AI-generated narratives and visual distortion works to cinematic and augmented reality experiences. 
This year the festival brings visual language to the forefront of the program, with a focus on the presentation of large works designed to shift perspectives and push boundaries.
Now or Never is an invitation to be a part of a community that celebrates creativity, inquiring minds, and exploration. A call for curiosity and collective awe. A step into the unknown. Follow us into uncharted territories.
