They are setting up an ambitious collaboration project, taking place in both Leeuwarden (ECOC 2018) and Veszprem (ECOC 2023) over the course of the next 4 years. The project Converging Sites brings contemporary visual artists, heritage specialists and local communities together, employing artistic vision and academic research to construct narratives that open up new perspectives on regional history and identity. The project takes the landscapes of the Veszprem and Friesland regions as its starting point. Tools used at excavation site just outside Veszprem. Excavation site just outside Veszprem.
