Manifesto
*Nuu
Catalan word of feminine gender, cloud in poetic language.
La Nuu, International Photography Festival of Rubí, was born in October 2015 with the desire to become a solid proposal that brings the current trends of the author's photography to the citizenship highlighting the need for words to approach the meaning of the images.
La Nuu wants to be a space of cultural revitalization of the territory, while it intends to turn the city of Rubí itself in a place of international reference in the field of photography.
La Nuu understands the image as a creator of thought and a promoter of critical reflection, but never in isolation. It wants to take advantage of the cultural impact that photography has on our society to create a direct link with the territory.
A museum within everyone's reach where the link between territory and culture is valued.
Photography reaches even those people who don't want to look at it: because the images are in the street, they are in the city. They are part of Rubí.
La Nuu has two clear purposes: to bring the best of photography to Rubí for the enjoyment and learning of all and, at the same time, to dimension the name of the city to the outside world, to culturally and socially energize the city internally while offering a look outward. That is to say, to fight for access to culture for all and, at the same time, to promote a new connectivity of Rubí so that the city becomes a cultural center of the first order forged from the urban periphery of Barcelona.
