(I have posted the same in the forum last week) I am writing this to clearly record why I consider Artscollaboratory (hereafter AC) is important to me. I must first say that I see the AC as a forum, where different/differing dialogues can interact making it a space for critical ideas and debates initiated and led by artists-led-initiatives from Asia, Africa, and South America. In that sense AC as a forum acknowledges that what we have to say about art and art practice as artists (not as curators, or art theorists, or art historians) is important.
