About Making Space
Making Space is a symposium that explores the nuances of home: how we create it, what gives it meaning, and why it matters. Organized by Untapped and taking place in key locations around the world, the afternoon-long program will feature short, live presentations by leading minds on a given theme. Transcripts of those presentations will be published here, alongside narratives from other voices, offering additional takes on the symposium’s theme throughout the year.
