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.
