Organization profile:
Círculo de Bellas Artes (CBA) is a private non-profit organization located in Madrid, Spain, founded in 1880. In the present, the CBA is a multidisciplinary arts center dedicated to disseminate culture from a pluralistic perspective, including literature, dance, cinema, theatre or visual arts. Our agenda covers activities of a diverse nature, such as exhibitions, lectures, seminars, workshops, concerts, performances, publications, film projections, etc.

Project description:
The “Centrality of peripheries” will attempt to analyse the artistic forms and cultural manifestations that have emerged in city outskirts in order to understand how they have redefined the relationship between the city centre and its peripheral areas. The final goal of this proposal is to determine how these new forms of art have contributed to create a new cultural panorama in modern European cities, and even new forms of social cohesion. This phenomenon will be observed from a double perspective: Theoretical analysis of its social, political and economic aspects. Experiential approach to peripheral cultural movements and artists in order to gain a direct knowledge of their work and calibrate their influence on mainstream culture and urban policies. The project will mainly focus on MUSIC.
