Drap-Art’08

Drap Art brings new energy to the arts movements that used objects trouvés as a language of social critique, and the movements that continue to do so. But it also encourages people in general to use the means that normal life and waste materials place within their reach, in order to develop their potential in a creative and autonomous way, use critical thinking and express themselves, overcoming habits and traditions that are a legacy of the colonial era.

Drap-Art 2008 will include the following sections: a space for reflection, a meeting between collectives of artists who use recycling; interventions in public space; with artists from the creative recycling scene, collective exhibitions with works by around twenty five plastic artists selected through a public call for works; a cross-cultural art and design market; performances; audiovisuals; group workshops and workshops with artists.
