'Experimental' Is Not A Genre

︎2023


In this talk, Feras invites us into his process of experimentation, showcasing the importance of failure, risk and collaboration. In this TEDx (walk &) talk, Feras works with collaborators Azzam and Yuki to guide us through how experimentation is core to his practice, and his life. It's a reminder to us all that experimentation isn't just an artistic practice, but something we can all embrace in our own lives.
