STIR bridges people (log/ लोग) and discourse (~logues) to stage creative encounters between top creatives from the worlds of architecture, design, film, theatre and culture. Set across experimental formats including ~monologue, ~dialogue, ~multilogue, ~analogue, ~prologue, ~epilogue and ~metalogue, these sessions put a spin on the traditional panel format – making the medium the message. The audience isn’t always a mere bystander; they shape the discussion through some of these interactive formats, participate in workshops and partake in what is to come next.

At ~log(ue) 2026, we unpack the complex relationships between space, movement, and event. We tune into breath, action, flow and rupture to interrogate how people gather, drift, resist, and belong. How can architecture, design and art respond to the gaping chasm between what is intended and what is lived? How does it negotiate form and function, intent and impact, or aesthetics and access? ~log(ue) makes space for all these knotty questions and draws on intersectional creative discourse, using fundamental disciplinary debates and dilemmas to reimagine the role of creative practitioners in a changing world.

In ~log(ue), STIR bridges people (log/ लोग) and discourse (~logues) to stage creative encounters across the realm of visual arts and culture, spanning architecture, design, fashion, films, performance, gastronomy, games, workshops and more. These encounters manifest as deep dives into a universe of plural thought and collective ideas. ~log(ue) puts a spin on the traditional panel format – making the medium the message. The audience isn’t a mere bystander; they often shape the discourse through interactive formats.
