The global ban on travel has paradoxically fuelled international collaboration as art practitioners find pathways to engage with their peers virtually, and in preparation for the opening up of borders to meet again in person to do more together. We speak with the people who have expanded their networks along novel trajectories to bring refreshing experiences to their local communities.
