At the core of the human condition is the desire, want, basic need to connect. To another person, an idea, a place, an event or situation. To connect, however, is often far from a simple undertaking, often fraught and complex. This has been no more obvious than in the last few years when connecting or otherwise, has been for many of us radically redefined and considered. Together or otherwise a(part) asks participants and audiences to consider the complex nature of making connection.
