The Schelling Point (August 11 - September 11)
What happens when two parties are unable to communicate and reach a common ground? What happens when the stakes are so high the future of the world depends on it?

seven kilometres north-east (Sept 29 - Oct 16)
On a slivovitz-fueled adventure across Bosnia, seduced by the visual and aural beauty of the Balkans, Kym spends a night in the Višegrad spa hotel, only to later discover the walls possess dark secrets that no one dare unearth.
