FCV Puppets: the first Lucanian writers contest
Today I’m talking about the First Lucanian Writers contest. Realize Puppets, cans and walls are on the house.
The event aimed at giving visibility to the street art culture in Matera, Italy, occurs within the 3rd edition of [BasilicataCinema] Fatevi i Corti Vostri festival. The festival, dedicated to amateur or self-produced audio and video, will take place from September 27 to October 4, 2009 at the local mediatheque in Matera, and will aim at further pushing creativity and freedom of expression, with the intent to revamp the interactivity of the public spaces in the region, starting from Matera, a city patronised by UNESCO.
The artistic event will take place Sunday, October 4, from 4pm to 9pm; candidates can enter singularly or in pairs, with provided spaces of 2×2m. The panels will be placed under the arcade by Palazzo dell’Annunziata, in the heart of the city. Each artist will be provided with 6 cans and some caps (2 Normal, 2 New York and 2 Skin).
The theme for the graffiti contest will be “the Mediterranean”, and artists are allowed to use personal items too. At the end of the exhibition, a winner will be declared and awarded with the realisation of a permanent mural at the site of the “Centro benessere Light” in Matera.
