THEME: REPOTTING ROOTS

"Repotting Roots" symbolizes the transformative journey of “repotting” oneself into new soil to personally grow and better understand one's connection to the world. In this ongoing journey, our roots represent our ties to the world and how we are intertwined with it in various ways as well as where we came from.

At times, we all experience a sense of uprooting, uncertain about where we truly belong. Sometimes, individuals undergo a process of self-discovery, reevaluating their identity and values. It is during these moments that we seek the truth and community. Our theme, "Repotting Roots," serves as an opportunity for introspection. Within this theme, at Nightwatch, artists can find solace in expressing their deepest selves.

"Repotting Roots" is not just about personal growth, it is about nurturing connections! Our goal is to transform artists into an expressive community, fostering a sense of evolution. We want them to rediscover their roots and embrace the strength that comes from unity.
