MOST RECENT ISSUE
April 2025
This April issue of FORUM+ celebrates interwovenness and the sense of community that can be felt within diverse artistic collaborations. At the heart of FORUM+ is a dynamic network of researchers, artists, and thinkers who interact across the boundaries of artistic disciplines, institutions, languages, and countries. With the support of all contributors, a community emerges that not only documents research in the arts, but actively shapes it – borne through exchange, critical reflection, and a shared curiosity. We hope you will enjoy reading this issue of FORUM+ as much as we enjoyed making it.

PREVIOUS ISSUE
October 2024
We do what is expected of us with great discipline. And in between the frenzy and stress, another need presents itself: the need for rest, vacation, for contemplation and quiet reflection perhaps, or even doing nothing, standing still, dwelling. In reading FORUM+, we wish you a meaningful slowdown.
