Emergence, International Festival of Street Art and Urban Actions, emphasizes the concept of re-emergence from protest to artistic expression, encouraging a broader reflection on the symbolic power of making art that goes beyond every boundary, every rule, every wall.
The main objective of the festival is to consecrate a transversal artistic movement that, after two decades of curiosity and growing interest from critics, gallerists, collectors and publishers, finally gets the opportunity to define itself as a milestone in the current art scene.
The walls become loudspeakers to communicate to the world.
Art goes to the street to communicate widely and indiscriminately, becoming necessary, precisely because it seeks the revaluation of the territories from urban and cultural decay. Street artists are contemporary heroes who, from the beginning of their creative career, pursue a noble ideal: urban redevelopment.
Emergence is conceived and curated by Giuseppe Stagnitta and organized by Associazione Emergence.
