Text from the original Festival website:

Artists who make collaborative work will talk about the insights and challenges of international creative exchange.  In the past year, Anne Bean has been working on a British Council Creative Collaboration project PAVES with Poshya Kakl from Kurdistan-Iraq, Vlasta Delimar from Croatia, Efi Ben-David from Israel and Sinead O’Donnell from Northern Ireland. The women have come together in each of their countries to exchange ideas and make work together. Anne and Sinead will talk about this process with the other artists on the panel as they all share their experiences about finding a space to work without frontiers, borders, demarcations, boundaries, barriers, bureaucracy, officialdom, laws, regulations and rules.
