Abstract

The visual arts course ‘The Arts of Fairs and Festivals’ examines local festivities to illustrate the connections between art, history, sociology and anthropology by looking at representation and identity. The analyses of local and particular events based in the city of Valencia, as part of the context of a Study Abroad program, requires students to engage with their own background and communities and present these to the classroom. Issues of mobility, power, and influence are illustrated through the global network, while the commonalities of cultures are highlighted.
