The work for this years Open Walls Conference in Barcelona has started.
The Open Walls Conference (OWC) is an international meeting aimed to create a bridge between urban art interventions and the society they are created in. The theoretical framework for this festival will develop through seminars and talks aimed at institutions, professional artists and urban planners in search for an effective management platform for urban art in Barcelona.
This new edition of the festival will be counting with the participation of both local and international artists like Alexis Díaz (Puerto Rico), Pastel (Argentina) , Escif (Spain), 310/Stepan Krasnov (Russia), Joao Lelo (Brazil), M-City (Poland) and Madsteez (USA).
You can access the program for Open Walls Conference here which will, as usual, be full of different interventions, conferences, meetings and workshops to be held during the rest of October.
