The projects were selected by Hamad Nasar, a curator and writer, and Head of Research and Programmes at the Asia Art Archive (Hong Kong), an independent non-profit organization dedicated to documenting the recent history of contemporary art in Asia within an international context, Glenn Phillips,Acting Head of the Department of Architecture and Contemporary Art at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles and Mario Spirito,the Director/Curator of Protocinema, a transnational, site-aware nonprofit based in Istanbul.
