Artists and scientists come together to share technologies and their applications for cultural collaborations between the United States and the Middle East at this daylong symposium. CULTURUNNERS is a multiannual and multidimensional project consisting of artistic journeys, cultural encounters with local communities, and the creation of artistic communication technologies for traveling artists. 

The symposium features a series of talks, screenings, performances, and readings inspired by the Majlis, an Arabic term denoting a welcoming environment that embraces diverse types of social gatherings. Invited presenters include Edge of Arabia artists, MIT researchers, artists and alumni, and Smithsonian curators.
