Call for participants
Interphaz NGO in collaboration with the Iasi city council
are organizing a street art festival: “IESI PE STRADA”
This event will take place in Iasi – Romania from 22th to 28th of June 2009.
Scope of the project:
Through this event, we wish to make the citizens think the role of public
places in the creation of social bonds and in mutual comprehension. Public
spaces are places of mutual respect and collective practices. Their
appropriation by all and more particularly by the neighborhood is synonymous
with good citizenship and social bond. We wish that public space could become
again a place open on the Other, where all the generations and all the origins
cohabit.
Who and what are the streets for? These questions, common to all the cities of
the world, will be suggested to young people. It’s a place where we move
around, where we live, where we work, where we parade, where we rub shoulders,
where we jostle: countless practices that intersect and intercept, making the
street a locus both of encounter and of conflict!
Call for participants :
Within this framework, we envisaged a serie of cultural events of different
nature.
We are looking for motivated people (individual, groups or NGOs) who wish to
participate and imply themselves in this global festival.
You will find under an outline of the different kind of events that will be
held during the festival. For each kind of event, you will find the specific
conditions we are offering you for your participation.
𐀹 Popular initiatives
No external participant required
𐀹 Temporary installations
What is this?
Several artists will be invited to produce temporary installations which will
take place in various public places of the city. This will be an opportunity to
emphasize, to announce and to question places belonging to the daily life of
the inhabitants of Iasi.
The idea is to offer a reflection on public space, to destabilize the practices
of the passers-by by offering them a starting point to confrontations with
moments and improbable objects.
The temporality of these artistic installations aims to create an effect of
surprise and a true reflection in the mind of passers-by.
How can you participate to this kind of event?
Participants (individual, groups or NGO’s) who wish to propose a project of
temporary installation within the framework of the Iasi street art festival
will:
• Be given an amount up to 200Eur (individual), up to 400Eur (groups and NGO’s)
for their installation
• Be hosted (accommodation only, no food) for 7 nights in Iasi
𐀹 Events

Specific events will be proposed during this week. Concerts of music, V‐Jing

to attract people.

ready to change their practices into playing under different conditions and
different forms.
