The Future DiverCities project
From the summer 2016, this 4 years experimentation will aim at exploring new models of creation and dissemination that support, for the future, cultural diversity and alternative ecosystems. The project will centre around the artistic domains of music, digital art and street art, and it deeply believes in and aims to reinforce social bonds through the arts.
The Chroniques Festival
Chroniques Festival is organised by one of the project partners, Seconde Nature (Aix-en-Provence, France) in partnership with Zinc (Marseille, France).
Besides French artists, the festival programme will present well-known artists of digital arts from Europe, Canada and Japan.
