Development of New Projects
We are a world art project in multiple stages that brings together migrant artists & filmmakers who now live in the UK with those who stayed in the country of origin.
Our artists & filmmakers develop proposals for new work from February - June 2010. New projects are triggered by the dialogues which took place from November 2009 - January 2010.
You can see online how artists & filmmakers develop ideas, and you can engage with the proposals.
Migrating to the next stage
We are a world art project in multiple stages that brings together migrant artists & filmmakers who now live in the UK with those who stayed in the country of origin. Together with our artists & filmmakers we are taking a risk to tell stories that the official narratives are often unable to tell.
From 22 November 2009-17 January 2010, artists were in dialogue with each other. We are soon moving to research & development of proposals for new work by the artists & filmmakers.

Dialogues to start 22 November
The imagine art after dialogues will start on 22 November 2009. Selected artists & filmmakers are paired by country of origin “one who left, and one who stayed“ to engage in an online dialogue with each other and the online audience.
Selection Process
The open call for artists and filmmakers closed on 1 July 2008. We received applications from artists and filmmakers from 30 countries, and we thank all organsations and persons who have assisted us in distributing our open call around the world. We are currently in the process of selecting artists and filmmakers to participate in the 2009 dialogues, and will announce and introduce the artist pairs as and when they are all confirmed.
