  1. "artists and intellectuals will take part and there will be various activities in the fields of language, music, poetry, cinema, performances and discussions on problems of the city."

    Bienal of art? or of architecture, literature and design. Art? especially as there are very few paintings, drawings in this intellectual fiasco
