Nuart Plus Street Art Conference Day 2: INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE
Nuart Aberdeen welcomes an international cast of highly acclaimed street artists to Aberdeen. Using our walls and streets as their canvas, artists produce breathtaking works which range from super-sized murals to smaller hidden gems.
Alongside the physical art production, an exciting programme of events will explore and present issues surrounding contemporary street art practice in all its guises. The Nuart Street Art Conference features contributions from some of the world’s leading street artists alongside academics, authors, researchers, curators, producers, writers and other cultural-sector professionals who are dedicated to exploring issues surrounding new forms of art and activity in public space.
On Day 2 of Nuart Aberdeen’s Street Art Conference, audiences will have the opportunity to meet some of the festival artists. The day will commence with a discussion of the history of flyposting and how this intersects with street art’s own history of the paste-up. Speakers include Adrian Burnham and Tim Horrox of Build Hollywood (UK).
Other highlights include a talk from festival artist and scholar Professor Bahia Shehab (LB/EG) and a talk from festival artist Addam Yekutieli (aka Know Hope – (IL/PS)). Day 2 marks the first tours of the art produced for this year’s festival, and the conference will close with a panel of our festival artists, who will discuss their work.
