Do you have the experience of moving to a new city and realize that we as individuals shape our surroundings as much as it shapes us? Through our exhibition Urban Semiotics, we have attempted to talk and present the various dynamics between individuals and cities, the spaces and our larger identity.

We are a group of nine students from across the world pursuing our MBA in Arts and Cultural Management from Institut d'études supérieures des arts in Paris 11. The exhibition will showcase artworks that represent the collective experience of the people who live around us and the individual personality and a larger societal ideology that marks the character of our surroundings. The exhibition is an attempt to explore the interaction between individuals and cities.

We are honoured to showcase four young and upcoming artists, who employ different visual mediums, and hope to establish an interesting dialogue with our audience. Visitors will get the opportunity to join us for a curated art walk, between October 13 to 18, 2020 and with us explore the amazing and unique street art of Paris. This project has truly been a labour of love having integrated our own personal and diverse perspectives and hope that this exhibition would catapult conversations about urban art and collective identity.

We are excited to announce the launch of our crowdfunding campaign aiming to raise 800 euro for the project. Even a small donation would go a long way in making our project a reality. This is a self-funded project and the students have borne the majority of the cost. We are in the final stages of our exhibition and need this remaining amount to complete the productions of the artworks. With just one small donation, you will become our honourable patrons, and if you like, your names will mentioned in our publication as our small gesture of thanks!

All IESA exhibitions are non-for-profit and hence no fee would be charged for admission or the walks.

Please follow us on Instagram and stay updated on all our progress.

See you in Paris!
