The festival is
proposed as a new way of experiencing the city through the different forms of
art.
Art is used as a tool for change to raise awareness and make everyone
acquainted with the fact that every popular artistic movement and, in
particular, street art (a phenomenon that is already trendy in many cities
around the world), can stimulate the desire for improvement and reflection.
The festival also intends to shake the consciousness of the new generations
regarding environmental and social problems using painting, music and cinema as
the main tools to interact with the social fabric of the territory, opening a
new path for change.
During the days of the festival, the streets of the city will become a real
„Open-air Museum”, creating a new way of evolving tourism that will make the
city of Pompei become a strong cultural center.
The city must increasingly become a destination for fans of the explosive
contemporary form of street art.
This new perspective will aim in future editions to make the places of
periphery known as well. The goal is to create a „Street Art Tour” in the
city of Pompei in future years, generating interest and tourist
development.
