Now we are open call for 2019


Technology influences the way we see our lives.
Technology changes the way we connect with each other.
Technology is an instrument to make our voice heard.

How can we keep our identity whilst being open to other digital cultures? How can we balance the old analog and the new digital life?

These questions are central for the new season ( 2019) of the Out Of The Circle art residency.
