This year’s theme is “approach to the idea of power”
“We are sure that the art has to interact with our enviroment. And now the sistem and the goberments are totally cutting all the helps to culture, art and creativity. Trying to impulse the society of the money, were artists are only mere “pampering” disenfranchised, in a world that unfortunately goes wrong and can get worse, until we break the barriers and claim our positions. We want to give visibility to those artists who are struggling, creating and facing the system through art . Forcefully, without fear, with the courage to believe that another world is possible and we have the POWER to change it ”
Mario Gutiérrez Cru.
