Since the beginning of this century, the Nuart Festival has been a prominent and critical voice in the expansion and understanding of street art as not just an underground genre but a prevailing culture that demands the attention of academics and a new generation of artists. For years, the festival was at home in Stavanger, Norway, but now, Nuart will celebrate it's 4th year in Stavanger's sister city, Aberdeen, Scotland. Today, the festival's founder, Martyn Reed, has announced the line-up for the 2020 Nuart Aberdeen, featuring 11 international artists taking over the Granite City. See our coverage of past Nuart's here as well as specific coverage to Aberdeen.
Nuart Aberdeen 2020 line-up:
Biancoshock (IT), ICY & SOT (IR), Jacoba Niepoort (DK), Jofre Oliveras (ES), Marina Zumi (AR), Nuno Viegas (PT), Paul Harfleet (UK), Pejac (ES), Sandra Chevrier (CA), Vladimir Abikh (RU) and special guest Martha Cooper (US)
Developed in collaboration with Aberdeen Inspired and Aberdeen City Council, Nuart Aberdeen will provide a platform for local, national and international artists to showcase their work through a series of site-specific murals, installations, interventions, and temporary exhibitions.
The festival takes place from Thursday 23 – Sunday 26 April 2020 and is supplemented by a program of talks, presentations, film screenings, free guided walking tours and workshops.
