Border-Crossing Exercises

Is border-crossing a short contact – by chance – or is it long-term – as a result of one’s personal or political decision? What are your expectations? Contrasts? Conflict? Confrontation? Or dialogue? Understanding? Respect?
Some borders are visible, some borders are not.

With the help of contemporary art and culture we want to articulate the necessity of better possibilities for border-crossing.
