About the project
The Nauru Project was an artists' collaboration based around the South Pacific island of Nauru, the world's smallest island-nation. The project involved exchanging and gathering online findings on Nauru, obscure islands, experimental micro-nations, island-related art projects, and the production of artwork among a group of artists and online Nauru enthusiasts. It began as part of Maria Georgoula's MFA research at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, London and was run between 2007 and 2017.
