At our event, we heard voices of people around the globe. The theme of the event was lenses. Lenses are the way we see the world. Whether we’re talking about the small plastic things we put into our eyes, or the larger metal things we put on cameras, they affect our perception of the world. Through this theme we explored various perspectives on ideas.
