Istikshaf aims to develop an interactive platform (real and virtual) for the questioning of artistic mobility around the Mediterranean.

This will be achieved through the mapping of existing funds and relevant organisations, organising symposia about cultural mobility, organising meetings between existing and emerging mobility funds and organisations, developing and enhancing a common "mobility alumni" consisting of beneficiaries of mobility grants who wish to be involved in sustained action for increased opportunities of mobility as a learning/creative tool for artists and community activists and producing a printed and online resource on artistic mobility in the region.
