About Baladk Street Art Festival:
Baladk street art project was first inaugurated in Amman in 2013 as a street art project that aimed to empower citizenship through different forms of street art, primarily murals.
The idea started with an initiative from Al Balad Theater’s friends & volunteers in 2013, to link the area of al Balad Theater’s artistic & cultural visions & aims with the community.
Al Balad Theater aimed to present a unique cultural experience entitled “BALADK”, with a vision of contributing the local youth in the city’s cultural rhythm through their different art formations, which enhances their loyalty towards building a culture that represents them & speaks their language. A collective of local emerging artists & musicians residing in the area of Al Balad Theater executed this project, and Amman city. “Art for All” is a universal concept, which emphasizes the right of being exposed to art regardless social levels and differences.
Both experiences served as a springboard and learning opportunities for Baladk Project, that highlighted two important points: the first is that street art is the art form that brings artists (and art itself) closer to the people and removes it from the bourgeois confines of theater-closed spaces, and the second is that this project needs to be an annual one that brings together artists, art groups, and community organizations all over the city.
Given the fact that Jordan’s population has recently become more diverse than ever before as a result of the turmoil in neighboring Arab countries, we strongly believe that street art will be a very effective tool in communicating & resisting the multiple forms of oppression practiced on different demographics.
In Jordan, and in the aftermath of the uprisings in surrounding countries, the social texture has changed; it has become more complicated, richer & more daring to express their rights.
Street arts are effective because they come from the community; we do not go to them: they gather & express their inner thoughts in the most creative possible ways.

Baladk Project Objective
This project aims to turn the streets into festive colorful sites; where people celebrate their existence & freedom from all kinds of oppression. Our main target is the local community and neighborhood, in addition to young street artists who have been oppressed by public authorities who believe that they own the city streets and walls. The festival wants to reclaim the streets to their rightful owners: the people of the city.
