AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) launched a music contest to fight impunity surrounding crimes against journalists in the Americas. The contest invites the public to participate as performers, lyricists or composers by posting videos, songs or lyrics on the anti-impunity cause on a newly created website www.impunidad.com/donatuvoz/esp/.

The "Lend Your Voice to the Voiceless" song contest will use social networks to raise awareness of crimes against journalists. The website is already posting promotional music videos made by amateur artists from Brazil, Mexico, the United States and Colombia. The six-month campaign will use Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube to encourage Internet users to join the anti-impunity cause.

AllArtNow, founded in 2005 in Damascus, is a private initiative to support contemporary Syrian arts - especially installation and video art, and to network with other organizations (in Syria and abroad) to cooperate in different activities, such as exhibitions, workshops, and exchanges.

AllArtNow is open to artists from different regions of the world to work and be in contact with local artists. By collaborating with others the current ecology of the arts in Syria can be improved.

In its 2011 program "Living Spaces" AllArtNow will be showing a selection of artworks including video, multi-media installations, performance, street art.

So crucial that most people today see themselves as an autonomous but 'split' individual composed of a responsible, controlling entity ruling over unruly impulses.
