As part of the closing program of the 5th edition of Autostrada Biennale in Prizren, the International Biennial Association (IBA) organized the 1st Regional Meeting in close collaboration with Autostrada Biennale, and in partnership with the Berlin, Istanbul, and Ljubljana Biennales.

The discussion “Cross-Sectoral Collaboration and Its Possibilities” brought together partners and cultural practitioners from diverse regions and contexts, creating a shared space to reflect on how collaboration across art, education, ecology, and technology can foster new forms of connection and collective growth.

The meeting underscored the impact and importance of regional collaboration, emphasizing how cultural initiatives can work together toward more sustainable, inclusive, and interconnected futures.

We thank all participants for their valuable contributions and look forward to continuing this dialogue — strengthening partnerships that inspire lasting impact across the region and beyond.
