2. 1 PASADENA
The Pasadena Chalk Festival (29 MARCH)
This centuries-old style of street art, also known as pavement art and street painting,
can also be viewed as a type of performance art. Artists use impermanent materials
such as pastel chalk to create a variety of images and designs on streets and
boulevards, sidewalks, plazas, and public spaces.
For the past twenty-five years, the Pasadena Chalk Festival has celebrated this
medium, attracting artists and design teams from many regions of the country. Leading
art schools, museums, and cultural centers are also represented in the annual event.

3. Artists have begun converting warehouses, old boarded homes,
abandoned strip malls, and even an old Bell South building into
recording studios and performance spaces. As one artist in the
article said “The artists here have a drive like no other, because
we have to make something out of literally nothing.”

UNESCO forced to consider street art as cultural heritage

9. In early March, a developer was granted permission to remove four
sections of the wall by the State Monuments Office and the
Supreme Heritage Authority. Soon after, protesters gathered in front
of the East Side Gallery to prevent its destruction.
On March 17, six thousand protesters, joined by “Baywatch” star
David Hasselhoff, temporary stopped construction on the
site. However, during the early hours of March 27, four sections
were removed under the cover of darkness, guarded by 250 police
officers.Axel Klausmeier, director of the Berlin Wall Foundation, told the
press: “There is a wider consciousness for the wall and its cultural
significance. [At the time of reunification] it was impossible to
imagine thousands of people standing in front of the wall
demonstrating to keep it.”
The destruction of these portions of the East Side Gallery has
galvanized a movement to preserve the remaining street
art. Preservationists, lead by Leo Schmidt, are calling on
UNESCO to protect the site and grant it World Heritage status.
This is the first time that UNESCO will be asked to consider street
art as cultural property. UNESCO’s decision on whether to grant
World Heritage status could establish a new precedent. It has the
potential to usher in a new era with a wider understanding of cultural
heritage.

11. the cultural tourism market is difficult to quantify, experts suggest that more research would help to identify broad groupings of
cultural tourists based on their motivations. Establishing categories such as arts, archaeology, language learning and so on may
be the most practical way to address this issue.
A study of mass-market tourists and eco-tourists found that both groups felt that knowledge of folk arts and handicrafts, as well
as knowledge about the destination’s history, was important
Policies guide a variety of actions including building infrastructure and developing social programs such as promoting local
educational and economic development through tourism.

12. 5-GARDENA garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The
garden can incorporate both natural and man-made materials. The most common form today is known as a residential garden, but the
term garden has traditionally been a more general one. Zoos, which display wild animals in simulated natural habitats, were formerly
called zoological gardens. Western gardens are almost universally based on plants, with garden often signifying a shortened form
of botanical garden.
Most gardens consist of a mix of natural and constructed elements, although even very 'natural' gardens are always an inherently
artificial creation. Natural elements present in a garden principally comprise flora (such as trees and weeds), fauna (such
as arthropods and birds), soil, water, air and light. Constructed elements include paths, patios, decking, sculptures, drainage systems,
lights and buildings (such as sheds, gazebos, pergolas and follies), but also living constructions such as flower beds, ponds and lawns.
Some gardens are for ornamental purposes only, while some gardens also produce food crops,
sometimes in separate areas, or sometimes intermixed with the ornamental plants. Food-producing
gardens are distinguished from farms by their smaller scale, more labor-intensive methods, and their
purpose (enjoyment of a hobby rather than produce for sale). Flower gardens combine plants of different
heights, colors, textures, and fragrances to create interest and delight the senses.
The Garden of Cosmic Speculation – Scotland
Open to the public only one day a year, the Garden of Cosmic Speculation takes science and math's as its
inspiration. Quite simply, there isn't another garden like it in the world. The garden was set up by Charles
Jencks, together with his late wife Maggie Keswick and is located at Portrack House near Dumfries. That's
in Scotland, by the way! It was set up in 1989 without the usual ideas people have when they create a
garden. Horticultural displays very much take second place in this garden. Instead, it is designed with
ideas in mind - and to provoke thought (or at least speculation) about the very nature of things

19. Street theatre is a form of theatrical performance and presentation in outdoor public
spaces without a specific paying audience. These spaces can be anywhere,
including shopping centers, car parks, recreational reserves, college or university campus
and street corners. They are especially seen in outdoor spaces where there are large
numbers of people. The actors who perform street theatre range from buskers to organized
theatre companies or groups that want to experiment with performance spaces, or to
promote their mainstream work.
Street theatre evolved in the early 20th century as a tool to emancipate the working class
and reinforce revolution against the established power. Its journey began in India during the
time of anti-colonial struggle, essentially by the left-wing theatre activists. Although street
theatre, as a form, bears close alliance with the folk theatre (Theatre of India), it’s more of a
social communication process with a participatory approach, than a simple art form.
Sometimes performers are commissioned, especially for street festivals, children's shows
or parades, but more often street theatre performers are unpaid or gather some income
through the dropping of a coin in a hat by the audience.

21. 10-GRAFFITI
• Graffiti are writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or painted illicitly on a wall or
other surface, often within public view. Graffiti range from simple written words to elaborate wall
paintings, and they have existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient
Egypt, Ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire.
• In modern times, paint (particularly spray paint) and marker pens have become the most commonly
used graffiti materials. In most countries, marking or painting property without the property owner's
permission is considered defacement and vandalism, which is a punishable crime.
• Graffiti may also express underlying social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic
expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. Within hip hop culture, graffiti have evolved
alongside hip hop music, b-boying, and other elements.
• Controversies that surround graffiti continue to create disagreement amongst city officials, law
enforcement, and writers who wish to display and appreciate work in public locations.
• There are many different types and styles of graffiti; it is a rapidly developing art form whose value is
highly contested and reviled by many authorities while also subject to protection, sometimes within
the same jurisdiction.
Contemporary graffiti
• Graffiti writing is often seen as having become intertwined
with hip hop culture and the myriad international styles derived
from Philadelphia and New York City Subway graffiti. However,
there are many other instances of notable graffiti in the twentieth
century. Graffiti have long appeared on building walls, in latrines,
railroad boxcars, subways, and bridges. The example with the
longest known history, dating back to the 1920s and continuing
into the present day, is Bozo Texino.
