IMA

El objetivo de nuestra asociación es establecer una base de trabajo para la cooperación entre artista de diferentes disciplinas, procedentes de diferentes países del mundo a través de "Encuentros" llevados a cabo por todo el mundo, orientados por Gestores Culturales en cada país anfitrión. La finalidad es generar una red de apoyo entre los artistas para el intercambio cultural que posibilite el ingreso de personas de todas partes del mundo sin barreras económicas, creando instancias de trabajo que nos llevarán a trabajar en bloque y lograr objetivos precisos en torno a las artes, el intercambio cultural, el conocimiento de las diversas culturas y costumbres de cada país generador del Encuentro y los participantes, eliminando así las barreras y logrando una globalización cultural "real".

We are three friends who live in different parts of the world, we want to promote MEETING artists and merge the different disciplines and cultures at one point in common, a passion for art.
