Summary/Abstract: Borderline Offensive Festival is a transnational community gathering of creators, academics, cultural producers and citizens wanting to explore how art and humour can contribute to improving lives in society in Europe and beyond. As such a platform, Borderline Offensive has organised, staged and produced different forms of tools aiming to provide the answers to the key questions: How do humour and art promote dialogue and reflection about migration, fear, pain, identity and social crisis? How do arts and culture influence integration positively, and how does integration work diversify audiences and artistic discourse? How do populism, xenophobia, and global cultural conflict impact arts and culture, freedom of expression and the mobility of creators?
