https:\/\/www.culturehub.org\/re-fest-2026<\/a><\/p>\nRe\u2013Fest is CultureHub’s annual festival that brings artists, activists, and technologists together to explore our role in re-shaping the future. Our 2026 festival introduces the theme Re\u2013Mapping, which gestures toward experiences of re-telling, re-seeing, and re-learning. Re\u2013Mapping engages modes of mapping as a creative process that resists maps as stable products of universal knowledge.<\/p>\n
Re\u2013Fest 2026 features workshops, conversations, and performances that initiate a two-year exploration of the theme Re\u2013Mapping, offering participants ways to unlearn dominant narratives and understand their place in history anew.<\/p>\n
Artists include: Chia Amisola, Isabel Beavers, Charlotte Brathwaite, adrienne maree brown, Cyd Cipolla, doplgenger, eho animato, Lou Fauroux, Yu Lee (ITP ’24)<\/b>, Helen Lin (ITP ’26)<\/b>, Yolanda Markopoulou, Wendell Marsh, Blair Simmons (ITP Faculty)<\/b>, Malick Welli<\/p>\n
