 The binational event, focusing on enhancing the relationships in cross-border art activities, has coordinated the two visual artist photographers in an art exhibition designed to engage dancers, choreographers and their audiences. This is an opportunity for artists of dance and photography to meet, study each other’s work, and initiate future collaborations.

About the artists:
