ENGAGE Projects invites you to an Artists Panel Discussion with Maggie Meiners, presented as part of Moonlight: Out of the Chaos—an exhibition exploring feminine forces, cyclical change, and the search for calm within turbulence.

On this occasion, artist and filmmaker Maggie Meiners joins curator Nora Schneider and artists Kasia Kay and Lucy Slivinski for an intimate conversation expanding on the ideas that have shaped the exhibition. Together, they will reflect on process, material, and the role of intuition in navigating both personal and collective uncertainty.
