Hugo Palmar, the coordinator of the Miami New Media Festival in the Netherlands, said the 16 selected works are outstanding and that the 40 proposals received in the festival’s call were high quality. The Netherlands’ festival is called “Hybrid Dialogues” and is carried out in the context of the XVII edition under the theme “Civility vs. Violence: Education, Art and Community as a Way to Embrace Nonviolence”.
Hugo Palmar is also an active artist in the atelierWG community (Wilhelmina Gasthuis) and part of the coordinating team of the artist-in-residence program (airWG). He explained that this event is possible thanks to the alliance between Arts Connection Foundation, founder and promoter of the Miami New Media Festival for 18 years, and the Amsterdam-based atelierWG Foundation.
