Starting with interviews with artists based in Lisbon and Cairo about their artistic practice, sustainability, opportunities, exposure and dominant trends, we engage deeper with four artists to interpret the interviews material in their own way.

During a 10 days residency at Estudios Victor Cordón in Lisbon, Camilla Morello, Inês Campos, Mohamed Abdelkarim and Mostafa El Baroody, gathered to unfold questions about living as an artist while looking at notions such as opportunity, exposure, trends and challenges.
