<p> Today, on the International Day of Culture, the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin met with the creative youth - street musicians, artists, sculptors, filmmakers and other representatives of creative community. The meeting in the Q&amp;A format was held in the renovated building of the National Library of Tatarstan. Ayrat Faizov, chair of the Committee on Children and Youth Affairs, hosted the meeting. </p> <p> “We continue to keep the level of the youth city, which has a lot of students – 166 thousand, and in total in Kazan there are 446 thousand children, schoolchildren, teenagers, students. Young people move the city and create new trends. Today we want to hear what kind of Kazan you want to see”, - Ilsur Metshin said. </p> <p> The meeting began with a discussion of graffiti and providing the favorable environment for the creative work of street artists in the city. Azat Aleyev, the author of the graffiti “Mona Lisa” on Bauman Street, noted that in Kazan, the graffiti art has a long history, there are many beautiful works in the city. However, more and more people are seeking the possibility to practice this art, and they need more places where they could implement their first ideas. He also suggested holding a graffiti festival in Kazan. </p> <p> The head of the city supported the idea, emphasizing that graffiti is not only an art, but also helps the city to become more interesting not only to citizens. </p> <p> The sculptor Zulfiya Mukhamedyarova continued discussing the urban design, she proposed to create art objects in the city, in particular, to decorate the territory near the metro. Sculptures of goats at the metro station “Kozya Sloboda” in her opinion would blend harmoniously. </p> <p> Ilsur Metshin noted that there are many new public spaces in the city where art objects can be designed. He suggested engaging students – young sculptors in this work. </p> <p> Maria Stuklova, ethnomusicologist, raised an important issue of preserving the language and culture of representatives of various nationalities living in Tatarstan. She has been studying the culture of different nationalities for a long time. She suggested creating a recording studio for folk singers. </p> <p> The head of the city noted that in the renovated cultural centers there are existing recording studios, many of them have professional teams. “We need to regulate this work, to allow both beginners and professional musicians to develop, we have all conditions for this today in the renovated cultural centers, equipped with latest technology”, – said Ilsur Metshin. </p> <p> In conclusion, the Mayor emphasized that all the proposals announced today will be carefully considered, and such meetings are planned to be held regularly. </p>
