The UCA called Artefice was born of the idea to channel the energies of the Hip Hop movement in Brindisi in a single container in order to achieve a dialogue with insitutions and clear this movement of any misgivings, living it full dignity of an innovative art.
So, between 2006 and 2007, Andrea Sergio and Alessandra Sardano build Artefice, a Brindisi-based association with the aim to become a reference in managing and implementing cultural events able to let youth culture emerge, putting to good use its members’ experience in participating in Street-Art and hip-hop- based events.
Artefice is a crucible for ideas and as a meeting point for those youngsters intending to strike a dialogue with already-famous artists, proposing initiatives and paths able to enrich both Apulia and Italy with talents and events |
From the sturdy mesh of true Apulian street art militants, in the beginning of 2009, Associazione Culturale Kaleidos was born, It <currently encompasses people from every main Apulian province.
The good connection between underground artists generated an ambitious project with new, powerful, channels of expression. These new channels have not met with old languages; on the contrary, two friends from every province are a part of the various Committees managing day-to-day activities, offering an horizontal mediation to the needs of an association.
Therefore, Kaleidos is a network, whose potential and skills can effectively interface with dialogue and promotion towards jobs, civil society and politics. We have as our primary aim to valorise the culture of writing and aerosol art, promoting its legitimacy and easing intergenerational dialogue on the subject.
Our main tools are seminaries, meetings, workshops, moment of aggregation and exhibition and, most of all, interventions of urban requalification, in full cooperation with policymakers and institutions. Word up! |
