The Vision of (A)WAKE:

The (A)WAKE initiative is driven by a commitment to explore the emancipatory potential of the digital world, aiming for equal access and mutual cultural exchange between West Asia and North Africa (WANA) and West Europe. Focusing on these two regions, the organization seeks creative and critical approaches to challenge prevailing North-South power dynamics through art and digital culture.
