In the context of Media Arts and Practices study programme, the University of Nova Gorica School of Arts, in cooperation with the Academy of Applied Arts of University of Rijeka, Graz University of Technology and University of Udine, as partner institutions in ADRIART project, is organizing a festival called MAP in MOTION, which is being held separately at different locations.

The Ljubljana edition of the MAP in MOTION festival will on July 14 see a symposium and exhibition and in late summer a screening and a dance-theatre show. The symposium will present specific progressive parts of the internationally oriented master programme in Media Arts and Practices. An important part of the symposium presents the artist talk, where artists-students are given the possibility to present their work. In the last part of the symposium we invite to an public discussion »Studying in art – Studio in the city«, and later in the evening to a guided tour and vernissage of the exhibition of works by students from University of Nova Gorica School of Arts and Academy of Applied Arts of University of Rijeka in Alkatraz Gallery.
