Setting the Stage with Bahar Behbahani. Commissioned for the stage design of this year’s Creative Time Summit 2024, Bahar Behbahani’s I do not believe in time, I do believe in water – titled after a line written by Dionne Brand – is a meditation on waterways, floodlines, and the enclosures and openings created by their confluence. Considering borders and statelessness, land rights, agriculture, climate, resources, formations for living beyond property, the Summit brings together artists, activists, and thought leaders from across the world who are mounting tactics of land justice, redistribution, reparation, sovereignty, and other reimaginings of the relationships between communities and land.
