Throughout history, art has helped fundamental changes in society, and it is one of the most pleasant, peaceful, and yet revolutionary forms of communication. The ways of expressing a statement, a feeling, or resistance can be powerful so that it can not be imagined. People are not concerned by issues that do not affect them personally, while those that are affected do not always find the channel or voice to express their dissatisfaction and that is where art is most powerfully used. In this respect, we can be served by the anonymous graffiti artist Banksy saying: “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable”. Might we want to disturb, to make a change? Yes, with the only needed weapons: a picture, graffiti, an animation, a painting, a film, an artistic installation. In other words: to denounce what is wrong in society. This panel will take place on the 29th of July at 17:00.

There are different layers on what it truly means to be a good artist, to be able to transmit your message completely, without interruptions, on your chosen medium and speaking to those you cherish the most, your audience. These panels explore all of what it really means to create, from all the corners of the room, so that you, the audience member are lost yet found within these panels that await for you starting from the 24rd until the 29th of July! We hope you take something good with you, pass it on, and enjoy the ride that is this year’s edition.
