The talks program aims to start a mutual dialogue between the audience and artists. It gives the space for artists participating in the festival to share their ideas and concepts with the audience to better understand the different practices of artists using new technologies in their work. All events are free but registration is mandatory and take place at AUC Tahrir Cultural Center’s Bartlett Fountain Area. English is the language used for all of the talks.
