The Fabrika

For some time many local initiatives are carried out to promote art in Panama City, some more successful and powerful than others, that at least part of local concerns and not of any international organization that promotes foreign how are you-work initiatives that will compete at INAC and other institutions. But it's unfortunate that many of them due to the large effort involved are discontinued so or there are sequels. We recall the San Felipe Festival held in the old station or via Israel thermoelectric Multiple City. The factory was an event organized by Anna Perez, former television presenter and producer.
The strengths of the event was the second time using the facilities of the St. Thomas Hospital, a building that was remodeled for Casa Cor 2007 before stepping in and giving a new use-in this cultural event, although it was clear and limited improvisation budget. The program was open to the participation of various events such as music, painting, graffiti, graphic design, fashion and advertising. On the subject of the painting had open studios of young artists with an interest to show and market their work which sometimes fails to place among the circuits of the city's commercial galleries. Many of them were or were graduates of local art schools as Ganexa or the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Panama. Usually the product is always bordering the line of "arte povera" or "poor art", using materials from the trash, collecting objects from the street and attached to and combined with more traditional techniques like painting on canvas and easel . Others, however, were halfway between textile design and graphic design (shirts, bags, souvenirs) through custom items aimed at this market. The rest of the events, mostly musical performances combined with fashion shows were an expression of a young audience looking for alternative spaces away completely chauvinistic attitudes. Although the counterpoint of all tables (specifically painting) and reflected fairly permissive graffiti all over.
rescued him from all these experiences should be in the field of education regarding the care of the present generation with their social commentary and forms of expression through events like this that allows association and assembly in a society as fragmented and individualistic ours.
