The value and importance of the suburbs as a place yet to be determined and dwell; a free territory to explore, with a good range of movement and creation is a fundamental part of the operation. The suburbs are also new geographical destinations for cultural tourism, places that are not yet subject to gentrification, where it is important to give to the people and not just the tools to interpret and thus participating in the operations of the refund will be made by artists such as performances, meetings, round tables and much more.
