May is the month of love, and FETA is celebrating it with a one-afternoon conference, performances, and a dance party. In times of quarantine, we aim to keep our community connected through virtual sharing of ideas and experiences. Communication is a key component to thriving arts and society at large. FETA LOVE FEST is here to provoke thoughts and playfully engage in a situation that is both poignant and permeated with sprouting potential.
