Villa Aurora expands its borders and brings work by the Villa's current Fuechtwanger Fellow (artist-in-exile), Mary Amin Ayubi to Wasan Island, Ontario Canada on August 3, 2007 as part of the freeDIMENSIONAL Network 2007 retreat; a retreat designed to bring together human rights organizations and residences from around the world to discuss future collaborations and matters of urgent concern regarding the placement of artists, writers, and journalists in peril.

Mary Amin Ayubi's film "Afghanistan: Unveiled", the first ever film about Afghan women by Afghan women, was initiated by AINA, the Afghan Media and Cultural Center. Mary Amin Ayubi is also co-director of " Shadows", the autobiographical story of a young video journalist trained by AINA, who explores the issue of women's rights in her country while traveling across Afghanistan. In the background, her personal and often intimate diary acts as a complement to the narration.
