Target audience(s): 8+ (adjustable to young or adult audiences); can be presented at social, community and youth centres, city and indoor/outdoors culture festivals, or within regular programme of cultural institutions. Feasible for groups up to max. 16-20.

Set-up: indoors location, versatile for group work and equippped with long tables, blackboards or writing surfaces and photocopy facilities. Materials are regular teaching/office material, it is recommendable to have local media publications (newspapers, magazines, etc).

Scenography: The work is based on a collective, collaborative process of creation in an intercultural and multilingual setting. Support of interpreters and migrant/diaspora community leaders and organisations is very important.

Target audience(s): 6+; can be presented at schools, public and outdoors festivals, libraries and youth centres. Scalable from intimate groups to outdoor group work;

Set-up: DIY format, done wherever whenever; the only equipment needed is paper (white, recycled, etc.) paint (pencil, pen, marker, crayon, acrylic, spray, etc.), old cardboard, textile and/or recycled materials and sticks for set-building, and openness to experimentation.

Scenography: built by audiences together with the artist for the impromptu performances. Video documentation of performances is filmed (animation documentary) and texts printed locally. The work is based on a collective, collaborative process of creation (possibly in an intercultural and multilingual setting, for which the support of interpreters and migrant/diaspora community leaders and organisations is very important).

Target audience(s): 12+; can be presented at gallery, museum, theatre festival or art/tech festival. Up to 9 people equipped with NVDs can see/perform in the installation simultaneously.

Set-up: 8 × 10 m2 indoors room, in a closed space (gallery, museum, blackbox) that can be darkened completely. 2 days for installation, 1 day for deinstallation; tech requirements are power plugs, ceiling projectors and white surface (screen or walls). Adaptable to outdoors settings.

Scenography: The scene is set with a rubber dinghy surrounded by a wide panoramic projection of the river banks set in infrared. Interactive performance reading, workshops and debates led by the artist performing as Smuggler are incorporated into the installation.

Target audience(s): 16+; can be presented at a gallery, museum, or theatre/performing arts festival. Some of the contents might be appropriate only for adult audiences.

Set-up: Indoor exhibition space, with capacity for 50 to 60 persons, Logistics require exhibition stands/walls and video projection technology. The lecture-performance requires the set-up of a (even if faux) vernissage with exhibition programme, cocktail catering, and local cultural event dissemination (press-release, inclusion in cultural agenda, etc.).

Scenography: Inside and framed by the exhibition, with all artworks and costumes provided by the artists. The lecture performance lasts for 40-70 min as part of the vernissage. The project includes an acting workshop for locals before the vernissage, after which participants can take part in the lecture-performance as invisible performers.

Target audience(s): 13+; can be presented at game festivals or social settings (school, youth centres). Some games are multiplayer, others can be played alone.

Set-up: Any computer set-up is feasible for the prototypes, without extraordinary tech requirements. As prototypes, the games are not fully developed and players may experience bugs and glitches. The issue is solved by re-starting the game.

Scenography: Game jams and workshops can be produced locally to replicate the experience. Depending on scope and audience, different technical requirements will be needed. At the most basic level, a room with an internet connection and connected computers will be needed, as well as some materials for sketching and collaborative work.
