Urban Arts in a World of Exclusions
transcending borders, spaces and genres-
EICU’s 2004 proposal is about contemporary cultural and artistic movements that are originated from excluded groups of the official culture.
In the cities, urban arts and subcultures reflect the tensions between mainstream power and minority expressions, dealing with experimental, aesthetic, informal, unfinished, low budget or even illegal actions.
This kind of groups, artists, companies, troupes, travellers or communities, are maybe the best paradigm of the art and cultural vitality in a world of constant evolution.
That’s why things like street arts, sexual and anti-globalization demonstrations and cyberspace and multimedia interventions, among many others, represent new kinds of art hybrids that we can find daily in urban landscapes around the world.
EICU 2004 pretends to ponder these topics with a new perspective on the frame of the challenges of cultural globalization and social inequalities.
