We collaborated with our Lebanese host organization, IVC, to realize “Artists at the Digital Border.” Through this project, we curated a series of interviews, round tables, and workshops that brought together Lebanese and international artists to gather testimonies and research data. Designed to culminate in a manifesto on artist mobility and digital borders, the initiative featured semi-public "Salons" where participants from around the world explored the relationship between the body and the virtual. These discussions focused on how artists encounter virtual borders, the contrast between technology and physical presence, and the impact of border crossing on artistic practice.
