Street and Plastic Arts Day
The day dedicated to the arts, Friday, December 11th, began at the ICBIE with the activity of the graffiti artists, coordinated by Júlio Costa in the Institute’s open space. We were surprised by Salvador’s new talents, and even more because they were girls.
While we waited for artists to arrive, we watched the documentary of the 1st International Meeting of Graffiti Artists in Bahia, which evoked pleasant memories for the artists and for us at the ICBIE, because we organized the event in 2008. Then came a round table discussion with Leonel Matos, Zaca Oliveira, Romenil, Tucunaré, Júlio, Prisk, Bigode and Menelaw Sete began, coordinated by Pietro Gallina, regarding the role of out in society and the rapport between street artists and plastic artists: similarities and differences. We had good participation from the public, which contributed to make the debate more significant.
The evening concluded with the awarding of Leonardo Prizes for the category of street art and plastic arts, followed by a delicious cocktail.
