Horror has long confronted taboos and challenged assumptions, exposing the fears and anxieties of the collective subconscious of its time. By pushing the boundaries of what is deemed acceptable or natural, the genre compels audiences to face the unfamiliar. In this curated film programme of short stories, each director reconstructs horror to unpack deep-seated anxieties surrounding power, identity and mortality. In doing so, the works suggest that a story’s eeriness arises when something is present where it shouldn't be, or absent when it should. This sensation of suspense and mystery is tied to the problem of agency—who or what is in control? The lingering uncertainty becomes a vessel to explore change, inviting both fear and reflection as a result. Please join us for a discussion with directors from the curated film programme following the screening, accompanied by a live score to film performance by Damsel Elysium of the film score of Glint directed by Sayna Fardaraghi and a DJ set by Charles Jeffrey to end the night. *Event curated by Isabella Barkett and Sayna Fardaraghi Information Source: Reference Point | eventbrite

So much depends is a series of five morning gatherings hosted by Leonie Herweg (GROTTO, Berlin) at Reference Point, inviting artists to share a work by another artist that has, over time, shaped, unsettled, or accompanied them. Each session unfolds as a conversation between past and present, self and other, tracing the resonances that form an artist’s lineage. What does it mean to find a kindred voice across time? How does art become a home, a site of recognition, or a quiet companionship? This series explores how we construct sensibility through what we inherit, admire, and can never quite shake off. Artists Leda Bourgogne, Ghislaine Leung, Zazou Roddam, Rebecca Ackroyd and Nicole Wermers invite us into their dialogues with a painting, a book, a film, a sound – a work that knocked uninvited, lingered, opened a door and went on to shift their perspective. We consider the deep companionship of art—not only as influence, but as a shared terrain where refuge is offered and communion with the work of one’s peers found. And so, in this space of attentive looking and listening, we ask: What do we carry forward? What carries us? Tickets come with a complimentary tea or coffee. Tickets are limited to 15 per lecture.

Author Danah Abdulla will be in conversation with researcher, educator, and artist Lina El-Hakim to discuss the purpose and relevance of design education, how regional identities and class divisions shape the development of design cultures, different perceptions of design and its value, and new possibilities for forms of practice.

Drawing on learnings from work with design students, educators and designers in the Arab region, with a particular focus on Jordan and featuring examples from Lebanon, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, Abdulla creates a dialogue with those who have most at stake in education to imagine how we can develop a collaborative, contextually based and socially relevant design education. Copies of the book will be available for purchase, or you can pre-order a copy here. About the speakers: Dr Danah Abdullais a designer, educator and researcher interested in new narratives and practices in design that push the disciplinary boundaries and definitions of the subject.
