The Reverse Portfolio Walk:
Finalists of the Portfolio Walk discuss the portfolio of a DFA member in a Zoom Talk. The DFA member discusses the work of the young talent. This leads to a dialogue between the young talent and the DFA member.
On 7 June 2022, Samet Durgun and Karina-Sirkku Kurz (DFA) met for a Zoom conversation. Why Karina compares Samet's work to a good music album, where Samet sees the common ground of amazement and what both of them bring precisely to the point in their work can be found in this inspiring conversation.
Host: Thekla Ehling
You can watch the recording on YouTube and Facebook.
