In recent years TALM has concentrated on collaborating with socio-economic and cultural organisations, creating alliances and increasing the number of partnerships with businesses, associations and institutions both nationally and internationally. The socio-economic partnerships are multi-purpose. They contribute to organising exhibitions, cultural events, conferences, seminars, artistic residencies, creative research workshops (ARCs) and study trips. TALM students, artists, theoreticians and the general public who attend these cultural events reap the benefit of these activities.
