The Prizren bus terminal will become the artists� venue in the first edition of Biennial Highway titled �The Borders Future�. Artists whose work deals with mobility policy, refugees, the deployment of minorities, migration, cultural exchange, the immeasurability of the imagination, the war, the gender boundaries, visible and invisible boundaries in the contemporary public space will meet in Prizren.

Buses are one of the major modern public vehicles, used to transport the people between the rural and urban areas, between large and small cities, across national and regional boundaries.

This massive aspect, coupled with its widespread access to territories with different levels of modernization, makes buses a central focus when it comes to the future of the borders.

Emigrants, refugees, and minorities often have to rely on buses because of the low-cost facilities and the spread they have. So if the highway is the infrastructural core of massive modern mobilization, then buses are a public expression of modern roads.

Various artists like Valentina Bonizzi from Italy, CHANG Chien-Chi from Taiwan, Libia Castro from Spain, �lafur �lafsson from Island, Irwin from Slovenia, Rena R�dle from Germany, Vladan Jeremi? from Serbia, Ella Raidel from Austria, Oliver Ressler from Austria, Saso Sedlacek from Slovenia, Alketa Xhafa and Alban Muja from Kosovo will attend this cultural event. Their activities cover different media ranging from pictures, videos, drawings, posters, interactive robots and performances.

These works of art will be exhibited since August 19 in the bus station reception room, the large cafeterias, offices, facades, outdoor spaces as well as in the legendary wedding hall.
