About Urban Dialogues
Sonia Gil and I started this global art collaboration in 2009, in order to work together with artists around the world and create public art projects. Urban Dialogues©, has been using Internet technologies to create virtual art collaborations.
All Urban Dialogues© artists approaches are distinct, yet complimentary, capturing the contradictions of our individual and collective histories, the present and the future, reflective of today's new era of global engagement and technologies.
Amy Bassin is an artist from New York City whose works seek to raise awareness about social injustice against women, children and a free press.
