Congrès International d`Art Rupestre June 28, 2009

Global Rock Art will take place from June, 29 to July, 3, 2009 at Serra da Capivara National Park, São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí, Brazil.

At Global Rock Art scientists, students and people interested in the research, conservation and promotion of rock manifestations will meet and present their papers and information from all continents thus showing that rock art is a worldwide cultural phenomenon.

Different methods of investigation, interpretation and new discoveries, scientific development and the dynamics of cultural creation and distribution can be related and compared at the meeting.

The congress will try to demonstrate that globalization is not a present-day occurrence, it started when man left his home in Africa and spread over all the continents. The congress is international and will show that Homo sapiens genetically carries a pattern of answers to problems created by the environment and by his Psyche. For this reason the congress is called Global RockArt.
