Communication begins with good intentions. But something always gets lost. You say something. They hear something else. A sentence lands somewhere you never meant it to. Your accent speaks before you do. Your silence speaks sometimes far more than words ever could.

Le MEETUP 9 (WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE?) examined the architecture of conviction. How verdicts are prepared long before a sentence is pronounced, how empathy is unevenly distributed, and how the same facts, differently framed, produced different outcomes.
We put that to the test. 30 people. Two juries. One case. Diverging framings.
What followed was the real conversation: about instinct and persuasion, about who receives context and who is reduced to their act, about punishment, repair, and who gets to decide.
Objects considered:
- Saint Omer (2022) by #alicediop
- An excerpt from a French criminal hearing

Le MEETUP 8 (WHO EVEN ARE YOU?) traced adolescence as a structure that lingers, shaping how we desire, perform, attach, and misrecognize ourselves well into adulthood. We explored adolescence as a site of projection, discipline, fantasy, and control: something pathologized, romanticized, endlessly mined by culture, yet rarely listened to on its own terms. Through film, theory, and collective exchange, we asked what it means to grow up, and what never quite does.
Objects considered:
- Mean Girls (2004)
- Françoise Dolto’s Complexe du homard (2018)
- Thoughts and Prayers (2025) by Zackery Canepari and Jessica Dimmock
