The lecture will take place on Wednesday 6th November at the Casa de Cultura in the historic centre of Xàbia.
The Arts Society Marina Alta continues with its spring season of lectures with a talk exploring key stages in street art’s growth examining the different elements and styles that comprise the scene with no rules.
Hidden Canvases by Doug Gillen explores the key stages in street art’s growth examining the different elements and styles that comprise the scene with no rules. From the international superstars to the local underground heroes, you are guaranteed to leave knowing your Invader from your Aryz and who knows you might even start looking at the world a little differently.
Doug Gillen is a freelance film-maker specialising in street art and graffiti culture. The subject has taken him from ghettos in Miami to the shores of Lesbos, through the camps of Palestine to the towers of Hong Kong. When he’s not lecturing for The Arts Society, he’s documenting art events around the world for his film project Fifth Wall TV. His lectures bear no legal responsibility in the event Members find themselves incarcerated for graffiti-related crimes. His recent film work was shown at the Bristol Museum in 2021.
The lectures will take place on Wednesday 6th November at the Espai la Senieta in Moraira at 11.00am (doors open at 10.15am) and at the Casa de Cultura in Plaça del Baix in the heart of the historic centre of Xàbia at 7.30pm (doors open at 6.45pm).
Both lectures are priced at 15 euros for guests but are free for members of The Arts Society and seats can be booked in advance by contacting the Arts Society by email at marinaalta@theartssociety.org or online here.
