This year marks the ninth edition of the Emerging Art festival Much More May, which this year has broken records in the reception of artistic projects nationally and internationally.
The Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena has received 110 artistic projects in the public call of the Emerging Art Festival Much More May 2018.
The Selection Committee of the Emerging Art Festival Much More May has been commissioned to choose the 28 proposals that during the festival will fill the streets and squares of Cartagena between May 25 and June 3.
The Councilor for Culture, David Martínez Noguera, has been in charge of presiding over this committee that has been formed by technicians of the Department of Culture and Youth of the City of Cartagena, together with external experts Jesús Nieto, Verónica Perales and Cristina Guirao.
"This year we have received more than a hundred creative ideas from all over Spain, and even some international ones, so it has been very difficult to choose between them all and we hope we have made the right ones and that the public likes them," said David Martínez .
This edition has as its motto "Interdependent, Ecodependent", which will turn the issue of art and environmental sustainability into the main axis of the festival in 2018. A good part of these projects will be carried out in the guest district which on this occasion is the one of Los Dolores: The Bohío-Barriada of Hiapanoamérica, that will share protagonism with the historical center of Cartagena.
In addition to these projects must be added those presented to the so-called "Much More May for the Sustainable Development Goals", aimed at both associations and creators, and which have been presented 16 other projects.
Finally, the program will also include the usual sections of Much More May, such as the short film exhibition "Semana Corta", the graffiti section "One Urban World", the musical festival "Mucha Más Música", a comprehensive training program for courses and workshops, and a section of Contemporary Dance.
In addition this year there will be a documentary film series dedicated to environmental issues.
This year, El Mucho Más Mayo will take firm steps to become a sustainable festival, for which its carbon footprint has been calculated and a set of measures to reduce and compensate it.
This character of ecofestival is added as a commitment that wants to be permanent to the one that had already been acquired with gender equality in the contents and participants of the festival.
