EDITORIAL

Originally planned in March 2020 and postponed because of the pandemic, Reflecting Residencies will be taking place in a world shaken by the Covid-19 crisis. In this context, collaborations, exchange of ideas and international mobility will take a new meaning and this symposium will be the time to assert their necessity. We decided to maintain our invitation to European participants, to produce videos on several international projects and to propose our Professional Workshops in a digital format. This October 2-day conference will be the key moment of a series of satelite events that will introduce and extend its themes and reach.
