Fronte[i]ras 07 – International Meeting of Transdisciplinary Arts will seek to bring to attention multiple artistic readings for the concept of border, reflecting on its possible interpretations with a focus not only on the physical / geographical borders but also on their representation in ideological, cultural, psychological, virtual, and ability borders.

This event comprises a program of parallel artistic residencies in Galicia, Spain and Portugal Two simultaneous residencies will take place, one in Nodar Media Arts Residency Center (located in a small rural village in Portugal) and another on the outskirts of Pontevedra (Galicia, Spain). Several artists from different origins and backgrounds will gather during 10 days on each residency space for the development of art projects in close connection with social thinkers who will hold a critique observatory during the same period.

As a result of the work produced during the residencies, a final presentation of the developed projects will take place in the form of an itinerant exhibition, starting in Pontevedra and ending in Portugal. A parallel round of conferences and audiovisual presentations related to the proposed theme will also take place.

The meeting is organized by two cultural organizations from both sides of the Iberian border, Binaural (PT) and Alg-a (ES), that have strong affinities on their objectives and methodologies, combining an intervention on digital / intermedia arts with an artistic research deeply rooted on location and life.
