Save The Date: SoC Assembly 2026 'Making a Vessel in the Sky'

The Assembly unfolds in a moment of strain and transition, following a *Town Hall* titled Tensile Structures, where fragility and strength became visible — and new questions emerged:

🤝 How do we hold each other? 🌱 How do we stretch without tearing? ⚖️ How do we sustain collective structures when the ground is shifting? If Tensile Structures names the condition, Making a Vessel in the Sky names the response: collectivity brought into being through shared belief, care, and coordination. 🛠️ Not a monument — a practice 💫 Not certainty — relation ⛵ Not walls — a vessel in formation

Step on — you are already part of its making.
