Threads through Time
Threads through Time
Join HACAS as we explore how the past continues to shape the present, revealing the lasting patterns that connect historical events to modern issues. This year’s theme explores how old ideas are reshaped in new contexts and how modern issues are not isolated or sudden but extensions of long-standing dynamics.
If you’re curious about the historical roots of present and pressing global issues are linked to their historical roots. HACAS is the place for you!
