What does it mean to belong somewhere? Is it a physical place, a memory, a dish, a scent or a feeling deep inside? 'A Sense of Belonging' explores the layers of identity, connection and the search for a home —both literally and figuratively.

With: LAMIA, Achraf Saadi, Oscar Houlis, Donald Huycke, Rock Star and Palm Tree, Elvy Tremor, Megan Briggs, Anna Sarkisova, Fleur Perneel and Maria Zandvliet, Aïsha, La Sonora Amberina, Octopussies, Cianti Wang, Patricia Neves da Costa, Throwing Hands Productions, Pushing Hands Collective 推手屯 and the young people of Boslabs.
