®Nova Contemporary Culture

07.04.2012 – 31.05.2012
®Nova is a multi-dimensional, contemporary culture festival, happening twice a year in different cities of the world. An interactive, full-environmental experience utilizing color, light, textures, music and design, in the form of collaborative and integrated art compositions by a wide range of artists from around the world. From hand-made illustrations to large scale murals to modern digital art; moving image to multimedia & sound convergence, art will be made without the limitations or restrictions of traditional format and will rely heavily on the magic of live improvisation. During this constantly evolving and mutating exhibition, the creative process will be witnessed as an ongoing work in progress rife with experimentation, challenging traditional and contemporary techniques and the bending of modern technology.

This new edition of ®Nova is the largest event ever taking on three brazilian cities, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte, and multiple venues simultaneously; MIS São Paulo, SESCSP Pompeia, CentroeQuatro Centro Cultural, Teatro Oi Casa Grande e Escola Guignard. ®Nova features more than 100 artists participating, more than 50 music and audiovisual live shows, installations, workshops, talks and more.
