MNR @ Firenze, 8/9 Sep.’12

The Midnight Run is an urban movement conceived by the word and graphic artist Inua Ellams // alias phaze05 from London. It is a 12-hour walk (from 6 pm to 6 am) that Inua does together with 5 local artists and 30 participants. The city tour is half spontaneous, half studied and during the various breaks the artists do live performances that also involve the passers-by. For years Inua’s been doing the MNR in the United Kingdom (and since June 2012 the project is sponsored by Puma). This Firenze MNR (8/9 September 2012), organized by CCT-SeeCity for PUF! Pistoia Underground Festival 2012, is the first MNR in Italy and in Europe (outside the borders of the UK)!

In the Midnight motto, ‘star’ can be taken literally,
or as a metaphor for art, artists, experiences
and the people in the shadow of the city,
in which case it takes on a beauty and importance:
The Midnight Run //
Cause we can’t see stars for fumes
we turn to smashed glass, believing
shards shine like constellations do.
