Within the frameworks of Paper and Refuge, the network meeting highlighted and discussed different ways to overcome boundaries, both physical and conceptual.

Paul presented on a panel looking at ways to get universities more involved in hosting ICORN residents - artists and journalists at risk - in collaboration with cities and civil society.
