IslandCQ is a 10-day, location based, international art, media, and technology exchange project that facilitates workshops, lectures, exhibitions, concerts, and performances, developed and organised by students from the various partner universities from Finland, Latvia, Hungary, Belgium, and the Netherlands. IslandCQ is initiated by Minerva Academy of Popculture and developed as an Intensive program partly financed by Erasmus, and consisted of 3 editions organised in 3 different countries between 2010 and 2013. 


Adris task was to develop the concepts and the main program.

The last edition of IslandCQ in May 2013 in the old Monotori Fortress in Hungary Komárom close to the Hungarian and Slovakian border had the theme ‘Crisis! -RE/Constructing Europe’.
