The essence of the project was simple yet profound: bringing together artists and cultural practitioners from Egypt, Switzerland, Lebanon, and Yemen to engage in a series of online conversations, followed by a residency to continue these dialogues in a shared physical space.
The process of dialogue, taking place between September 2022 and May 2024, was meticulously documented, with the aim of sharing it with the public during an exhibition and in a manner that is both accessible and insightful.
During the residency we decided to become a collective and continue working together.
