HELLO ¡HOLA! OLA!
¡VAMOS! Weekender 2009
¡VAMOS! returns for one long weekend in 2009. Come see, hear, feel some of the vibrancy felt last time around with film, dance, debate, visual art, club events, commissions and live music taking place over the 5 days. Plus don’t forget that the full festival is back in July 2010! To check out the full programme click on the WEEKENDER 2009 link here.
¡VAMOS! is again working in close partnership with the university sector; this time via the ‘Routes into Languages’ project which hosts events throughout the year as well as leading into the ¡VAMOS! weekend (see below). Routes NE offers school children the chance to explore cultures and languages through a range of workshops including sport, music, and film. Routes NE is a consortium of all the North East universities and is housed at Newcastle University.
¡VAMOS! and Routes NE are also excited to announce a new schools project ‘Exhibition Loca’ where Latin/Lusophone artists sponsored by Routes NE will work with schools to produce a final exhibit/performance to showcase in 2010! For more info on Routes NE contact: Ruth o’ Rourke at E: r.f.o’rourke@ncl.ac.uk or P: 0191 222 5814
