PREVIOUS ISSUE

October 2025

In this October issue of FORUM+, we explore how artistic research can shine a light in difficult times and help us imagine new possibilities. By embracing exchange, collaboration, and mixing different ideas and practices, artistic research can become a powerful tool for resistance and renewal. We hope this issue of FORUM+ inspires you to (re)imagine the world and its many possibilities.
