"Above all", wrote Derrida "above all, the duty of hospitality to the stranger or the exile, to the language of the other, to the one arriving, to whatever comes, to the newness of what arrives, to what remains to come or comes from afar."

The act of welcoming: a hospitality that must constantly be thought and re-thought to the limits of languages and the arts. A hospitality that is thought through, performed in the tension between hosts. Their generosity and hostility are put to the test of art’s questioning. Siwa opens a space and time where this may happen. Or not. But the main thing is to prepare for its coming.
