Moving Out: 'Going International' is an INSITU Focus event and is following on from the successes of Moving Out Symposium 2015, and Moving Out: 'Making It' Symposium in 2016.
The discussion with the audience and a group of specialists will focus on accessing and delivering international collaborations, the relevance of publically-engaged practice to international residencies, and the impact of international residencies on artists' work and sense of cultural identity. It will offer a crucial guide for artists and producers seeking to work outside both their home country and their comfort zone.
