We want to share with you some photos of last weekend. Members of our entity were in Alba (Italy) to participate in the event “Summer Scratch 2015” that was organized by our friends of the association Espressione Hip Hop. Togheter with the guys of El Círculo Breaking, we explained activities we do, projects we want to carry out and our urban art can be a valuable tools of social transformation. We showed, as well, to urban artistis and local popolation, the video of the international training course “Urban Art & Social Transformation” that we carryed out thanks to the Erasmus+ programme and where we knew the members of this italian organisation. 

Thank you very much guys for the invitation, the big hospitality and to make events like this to promote urban culture, dialogue and participation.  

UA&ST: Antoni Gabarre

Antoni Gabarre is one of the experts that participated in our international training course “Urban Art & Social Transformation”. He’s a great example of social educator who tries to get better the world where we live, promoting participation, inclusion and peace culture through muralism and graffiti.

Thanks to his participation, that we want to share with you, we could discover how urban art uses public space and how it can be a tool of social transformation. It’s an honour for all of us that he supports projects we carry out and he participated actively in this training course.

Interviews With the Organizers of the UA&ST

Our video-making team recorded the last interviews with the organizers of the "Urban Art & Social Tranformation" international training course. Together with a lot of videos of the training course itself, it will be produced into a documentary of this project. Members of the Iniciativa Internacional Joven and El Circulo Breaking explained their objectives, activities and achievements through this opportunity. All this was a big step towards more joint projects in the future, to which we are looking forward with all our hearts.

    

UA&ST: Day 8

Yesterday night participants were enjoying a farewell party with typical Spanish and Malagan food, sharing their last hours together.

After a week full of dance, music and colors, we greeted our participants who went their homes. We are a little bit sad, but in the same time happy and pleased we participated in this project. These young artist have learned a lot, developed new skills, acquired/improved competences and, what is very important,
strengthen their will to continue with the urban art and become more than just artists. Now they are able to become social transformers.

We hope we will continue to collaborate and create much more events and cooperation in the future!

Thank you all! :)
