The first edition of the International Mapping Festival will be organised in Girona from 30 July to 3 August. This is a time when the city will be full of visitors from all over the region and the world.
The Festival will consist of two different parts:
- A mapping competition: different artists will compete for their work to be part of a route through some of the city's most important landmark areas.
- A mapping sector meeting: different activities will be organised for technical and organisational mapping professionals. A talk will also be organised by an artist of recognised prestige.
The objectives of the festival are:
- Strengthen Girona's position as a creative city and encourage the transfer of knowledge between the technology and cultural sectors.
- Open up the audiovisual arts and contemporary creation to the general public.
- Promote audiovisual creation and historic heritage as a way to boost high-quality cultural tourism.
- Improve the city's cultural offer to make it more attractive as a tourist destination.
- Energise the city and county's creative sector by providing a new working platform with greater visibility and international scope.
