Theme: In Absentia

Linving in a state of In Absentia we wanted to challange people minds we wanted them to listen and see ideas and topics that they were In Absentia about from all the fields even if it is a well known topic then they would see it from an angle or a point of view that they were In Absentia about or have never looked at it from this perspective before. We invited people to join us in our In Absentia and harness the opportunity to discover the obscure parts in themselves.
