Now or Neverland: Urban Uproar | Art Basel 2016

Now or Neverland: Urban Uproar is a collective of local, national, and international visual artists presenting works that reflect the dynamic process of forging cultural identity. Urban Uproar explores the harmonious sound of city chaos through themes of politics, climate, food, migration, and economy where urban voices play a central role. Artists weave stories of migrants, hustlers, CEOs, politicians, and children, finding a unifying rhythm in Now or Neverland and its adventures in Urban Surrealism.
