Newcastle University research team, international partners, host sites, and participating artists discussed the series of pilot virtual artists' residencies undertaken as part of this Arts and Humanities Research Council funded project, as it comes to a close.

At this event we heard from residency hosts and the four international artists - Nidhi Khurana, Liliya Lifanova, Mohammad Sabir Sabir, Yingmei Duan - as they revealed how they responded to their virtual residencies at National Trust Bateman's (Rudyard Kipling’s house), Van Gogh House (London), Afghanistan Memory Home (online museum), and National Trust 575 Wandsworth Road (London), the home of Kenyan poet and artist Khadambie Asalache.
