Entitled Locus Agonistes: Practices and Logics of the Civic, the event will be launched this year in Lebanon at Beirut Art Center (BAC) from April 27 to May 7, 2011 before moving on to other locations and is conceived as a response to the region’s present political climate through its exploration of the practices and logics of civic imagination.

At Beirut Art Center, Meeting Points 6 will feature, in addition to the exhibition, a series of back-to-back performances, readings, talks, contemporary dance solos and discussions. Audiences are invited to live and experience creative production with local, regional, and international artists and thinkers throughout the opening and first three days.
