So for this Fire Festival, you create art only to burn it? What a waste.

Only if you want to. It’s as much about creation as destruction. If you want to make art as a celebration, then–

Dialogue
What if I wish to make art that is a lament? I won’t set fire to my pieces. Pain is a part of us. We should not wish to sever it from us, rather allow it to simply be.

Be a shame to see such a beautiful representation of the new members of our community go to waste. Now, if you’re done joking around, let’s get this show underway.

Thanks for your help, Commander. We did a good thing. Now, let’s get back to the festival. It wouldn’t do to miss the party we worked so hard to organize.

Look at that, Commander. All the lights, the fires, the food, the music. Pretty neat, huh?

Indeed. Including the refugees was a good idea. They seem to be enjoying themselves, despite Asan’s little joke.

I have an idea for that, actually. The arts council runs a cultural center that could do with some new art, and I’m sure Asan would love to see his work featured.

This is a festival to celebrate our heritage. Why involve the Thallorans? If they want to hold their own festival, then by all means.

Why silo yourself? As I understand it, art is about breaking norms and pushing boundaries. Diverse experiences should be welcomed.

Right! And the Fire Festival is about overcoming challenges. The refugees have faced nothing but challenges here – I think this could be really good for them. Make them feel like part of the community.

We, too, have faced challenges, not least funding this festival in a time where resources are short.

What if we were to make a charitable donation? Would that change your mind?

This is where the bureaucracy convention is taking place, right?

Bureaucracy convention? What are you talking about? You can’t just set up a convention without a permit. Which we have, by the way.

Oh, I get it. This is part of it! Clever. Very clever. So, where can I get a permit, then?

Patron of the arts, of course! There’s a festival every year that celebrates folk art and keeps evil spirits at bay. Double whammy.

Dialogue
Excuse me?
Objective ID

Phase

Bowen
Dialogue
Just a bit of innocent superstition. We make effigies of our enemies or of malevolent influences in our life and burn them to free ourselves.
Objective ID
798,604,619
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Bowen
Dialogue
And, less dramatically, we make joyful art to celebrate the loved ones we have lost. It’s always a good time, but I wanted to do something different this year.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Bowen
Dialogue
I think this could be a great opportunity to build a bridge between communities. I want to see if any refugees want to participate in the festival. The thing is, the arts council isn’t convinced.

But if it came from someone who is so respected throughout the Margins…

I do not claim to understand art itself, but I do understand its significance. We will help you convince the council.
