WORLD

Collin Sekajugo, Ibrahim Jawabreh, Sachiyo Kaneko, Erin Hobey,  Mariló Hernández... five people, five imaginaries, multiple disciplines and four continents are living together at Jiwar, place of encounter, of connection and exchange. We’re betting more and more on becoming this bridge, this hinge of knowledge. And we don’t want in no way that the wealth which feeds us rests at home, between these excellent walls, we work and we fight in order to make it go out, to spread it, to make it beneficial in our sorroundings of neighbourhood and city. To sum up, we cannot do but to s-h-a-r-e it.

COLLIN SEKAJUGO AT JIWAR

Within the framework of the agreement with Africa Centre (South Africa), and this year with the support from The African Arts Trust (Kenia), Jiwar collaborates since three years in the AIR project in which 8 creators are selected from around 400 artist candidatures of every discipline who live and work in any country of Africa.

 COLLIN SEKAJUGO (Uganda-Rwanda) is a committed visual artist who cannot understand creation without the relationship with the community. Responding to his concern of connection with the society, Collin has created in few years two reference spaces at Great Lakes Africa (Rwanda and Uganda). The centre IVUKA ARTS, at Kigali (Rwanda) works since 6 years ago to build a community which through arts lets obtain to the young artists the needed competences, structure and visibility in order to become the cultural agents of tomorrow.

WEAVER BIRD, situated at Masaka city outskirts (Uganda) has been the first art and communitary tourism centre of the region, seting itself up as a bridge between the artístic creation and the community.

Ibrahim Jawabreh finally in Barcelona. Jiwar collaborates with the project The Artist and the Stone. 

We want to show our satisfaction en poder acoger finally the Palestinian artist Ibrahim Jawabreh, pieza clave of the project of Matteo Guidi and Giulana Racco The Artist and the Stone. After two refusals of VISA the artista had to move to another country for the third petition, which has succeed. Any reflection or comment about mobility will always be short in front of reality of visas, the time, the humiliation and the money they entail.
