Independent Exhibitions

Independent Exhibitions are organised directly by members in collaboration with external venues. They include both solo and group projects and run alongside the main programme of the Congress. These exhibitions offer participants the opportunity to present their work in contexts they have independently initiated, complementing the official IAC-curated exhibitions.
