A 10 year project (2003-12), fD urged a sea change in the artist residency sector by practicing artist shelter and evacuation placements, convening networks and coalitions of expert practice, and sharing lessons learned in immigration and cultural policy fora.

After 10 years, fD changed its name to ArtistSafety(.)net in order to maintain ongoing projects in partnership with other artists and organizations, e.g. Sidd Joag, Artistic Freedom Initiative, Residency Unlimited, Hildesheim University and the Westbeth Artists Community.
