urbanNOISE 2008 theme - UNITY

urbanNOISE is unique among urban arts initiatives. This annual project will consistently be driven by one unifying theme that focuses on issues of violence and will form the cornerstone of the entire project. The urbanNOISE Advisory Crew consisting of an intergenerational mix of North Etobicoke residents each year collectively determine the urbanNOISE theme.

The theme will be open enough to allow for broad artistic interpretation, while aiming to focus on the root causes and effects of violence.

Teaching artists and youth participants will employ and embody the urbanNOISE theme – UNITY - when producing performance or visual arts pieces as part of their workshop curriculum. Professional performers will be commissioned to create new works inspired by the urbanNOISE theme.
