Happenstance 2019 Theme

In the twenty-first century, social media has not only been integrated as a part of our daily life, but it has consumed us. If you didn’t post it on Instagram, did it really happen?

This edition of Happenstance highlights and comments on the irony of it all- while art became more accessible through social media, literature itself has been cast aside.
