16 CIL Year-2 and 2 Year-3 students plus one MAMC student visited key art venues in Paris, Bilbao, Barcelona, and London on May 28 – June 10.
While there was a lack of coverage on new media events in this tour, one shortcoming of the tour, we´ve had 16 sessions of very good discussion/briefing sessions. Most of us enjoyed the exchange very much, which mainly took place in parks, squares, sidewalks, entrances to buildings and other public spaces.
Participants are now writing up each of their own self-selected topic for a short editorial.
