'BorderBody' is conceived as a diffused and nomadic exhibition in different places of the world. The festival is composed by two sections: 'Mixing Cities', which deals with modern urban changes and their influence on citizens, and 'Mixing Identities' focused on the hybridization of social identities in contemporary time. Artworks' selection is based on the main concept of fluidity, motion, changing networks and cities transformations. In contemporary society boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity; what makes ... every person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid, multiple, making the cultural, religious, ethnic borders changeable too. This change, this mutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities creating new possible crossings, new blends. There is no more limit between an identity and the other one but it is possible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity. People, backgrounds, societies, progress and all their inputs creates hybrid identities, modifying each other and being mixed in prospect to shape a better world.

The event is open to photography, video art, painting and performing art. Exhibition at MECA (Spain) is open to video art only.
