LIMINAL SPACES

The project invited artists, architects, academics and art practitioners to examine the condition of everyday space, borders, physical segregation and cultural territories and challenge the possibilities of art as a catalyst for political and social change. The focus of the project is the radically divided and fragmented urban region of Jerusalem/Ramallah, which has become a laboratory for an urbanism of radical ethnic segregation. Artists investigated the perception of the frontiers and challenged their accessibility, permeability and potential as contact and communication zones. Artists employed new forms of creative practice adopting and subverting contemporary technology and systems of media communication, underlining the central role played by technology in the shaping of the physical and mental borders.
