From April 27 to May 7, 2011, Beirut Art Center will be hosting an exhibition and events program within the framework of Meeting Points 6. Meeting Points 6 is a biennial event comprising contemporary art, film, theater, dance, music and performance. Curated by Okwui Enwezor, and organized by the Young Arab Theatre Fund (YATF), in collaboration with regional and international partners, Meeting Points 6 will take place across a number of historic cities in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe over a one-year period between April 2011 and March 2012.
