Atlas of Invisible Borders

El Atlas of Invisible Borders is a new multimedia project exploring the invisible divisions of Europe developed in conjunction with the European Alliance of Academies.

In a world where physical borders often dominate our attention, it's easy to overlook the invisible borders that exist within our societies. These intangible lines can have just as much, if not more, impact on shaping the lives of individuals and communities across Europe.

The Atlas of Invisible Borders is an online platform featuring a comprehensive collection of videos. Serving as a digital forum for reflection, it amplifies diverse perspectives and sheds light on the persistent invisible barriers shaping Europe today. It showcases the results of our first call for contributions, presenting 23 selected videos from 12 European countries. Each video offers a unique perspective on invisible borders, organized by concept and country to facilitate exploration and engagement.

Our aim is to encourage reflection on these often-overlooked divisions and foster a deeper understanding of their implications. The online platform Atlas serves as a space where voices from all corners of Europe can converge to share their ideas and experiences.

The Atlas of Invisible Borders is an initiative of the European Alliance of Academies, of which we are a part, a transnational network of 70 art academies and cultural institutions that advocate for freedom of artistic expression, a fundamental element for social cohesion in Europe.
