AWA emerged at a moment when gatherings were once again taking place yet connection still felt fragile.

After more than fifteen years working across film production, events, and artistic interventions, Sara Shukur and Marlène Grégoire began bringing their networks together through experiences built around play, narrative, and interaction.

This practice took shape through a private festival developed over five years alongside a wide network of artistic and technical collaborators.

Fictional currency, parallel narratives, signals scattered through space.

Interactions emerged naturally, without being directed or imposed.

AWA was born from this experimentation.
