Damascus CC Iftar on Sunday 5th of September
3 SEP 2010
The Damascus art scene is vibrant and original. But Syrian artists have suffered for years and still suffer of huge piracy problems, intellectual property infringements and scarce distribution.
In partnership with Aramex, The iftar in Damascus will be focused on the "Remix!" theme and on how you can turn the "stealing" concept into a much more positive "sharing" concept.
The light talks -which will feature also artists from neighbor country Lebanon - will show how "loosing control" in arts can pay back in terms of popularity, networking and PR.
Syrian and Lebanese artists will show how the remix idea can be used in comics, visual arts and music.
