5th International Biennial of Textile Arts, Buenos Aires

Published by Michael on November 13, 2008 in Art in Buenos Aires. 0 Comments

The 5th International Biennial of Textile Art will be held from April 1st to 25th, 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Palais de Glace, organized by the World Textile Art Organization (WTA). The 5th International Biennial of Textile Art places its attention on those artists who choose to express themselves through fibers and weaving, resignifying through their work the concept of Textile Art, by taking away all boundaries and making it explode into many meanings and connotations.

Overstepping boundaries and combining different disciplines, those artists participating in the 5th International Biennial of Textile Art start from the mere fibers to merge into new technologies, venturing to follow new lines of investigation, fusing their quests and challenging categorizations but keeping the soul of textile materials as the integrating element.

US 5.000 cash awards

Where: Palais de Glace.

Congratulations Barack Obama

Argentina Gay Pride Parade 2008

Published by Michael on November 1, 2008 in The city. 0 Comments

Buenos Aires is the most liberal city in Latin America. As an example, two years ago, it was legalised the same-sex civil unions. Marcela Cuesta, Buenos Aires’s sub secretary of tourism, said: “We’re quite an open society, with open criteria to accept visitors. That’s what we’ve been showing and that’s why gay tourism has nominated us as a gay-friendly city.”
In November, Buenos Aires’ annual gay pride parade attracted thousands of men and women to celebrate the birth of the first gay organization in Latin America. The parade starts in Plaza de Mayo, downtown Buenos Aires, Saturday 1rst of November at 18:00 PM, goes over Avenida de Mayo and ends in front of the Congress Palace.

Another day off at Monday the 13th of October!

“Non touristic neighborhoods” part one: BARRACAS

Published by Michael on October 2, 2008 in Stay in BA News and The city. 0 Comments

If you want to get known with the “real” Buenos Aires and not only the touristic and the so popular parts of the city - which of course also got there charm- we suggest that you to take once in a while a day to walk around in a few neighborhoods that we will describe during some time, to see if you can get to the smell of the river, the rhytm of the (european) imigrants influence and the real feeling of tango..

BARRACAS

1. Martín García Avenue
It was the old route called Camino a la Ensenada de Barragan to Magdalena and Quilmes towns, originally sourcing from Plaza Mayor. The carts exit the port down Defensa and Humberto I streets. The nearby Almirante Brown avenue leads you to La Boca neighborhood.

2. Canale Factory
Martín García avenue opposite to Lezama Park

The famous and old cookies factory used to sweetly scent the whole neighborhood. Premises hold two domes and it has been decorated with majolica.

3. Avenida Martín García 584
This was the seat of Admiral Brown’s week-end cottage. Guillermo Brown, mariner of Irish origin, created the First Argentine Navy Fleet.
