BEYOND THE HORIZON
6. and 10.6. 2024
Summer is often a time for travel, new experiences, and escapes from reality. Whether your journey leads to the seaside resort you've been visiting for the past twenty years, a remote forest, or deep within yourself, we all long to be somewhere else for a while. We have decided to dedicate our diverse June program to stories of escapes, unique situations, and discovering people and landscapes.
