International Visitors Programme
Carlos Nazareno, an interactive media specialist and digital artist from the Philippines, came to Het Nieuwe Instituut in February 2020 for an expert meeting and a visit to the National Collection for Dutch Architecture and Urban Planning. The visit was realised in collaboration with XPUB, the Piet Zwart Institute's experimental publishing programme.

In addition to this, he is a member of the Consortium on Democracy and Disinformation, a network of journalists, academics, bloggers, and other independents that seeks to promote democracy and fight disinformation. He is also a member of the Wiki Society of the Philippines and has been an active Wikipedia volunteer editor for almost a decade, focusing on fighting historical negationism as well as political propaganda and disinformation.
