General Information
Il n'y a pas par le moment des personnes engagées. Dans la période d'une année il devrait avoir deux personnes, une à plein temps et l'autre à temps partiel. Les ressources de financement sont privées et, dans la mesure du possible, publiques (subventions par projets). Le projet est soutenable économiquement car les artistes résidents payent par leur séjour. L'activité principale de l'association est la résidence d'artistes: accueil aux artistes et travail de dynamisation autour de son projet de création pour atteindre la communauté. On travaille beaucoup en réseau avec les institutions non gouvernementales, publiques et privées du quartier et de la ville qui sympathisent avec les valeurs du voisinage: bibliothèque (Biblioteca Jaume Fuster), centre de résidence pour les personnes âgées (Casal de Gent Gran de Gràcia), associations d'accueil aux immigrés (ASCIB, ABD), associations de production créative: Gràcia Territori Sonor (expérimentation musicale), La Caldera (danse), Experimentem amb l'Art (arts visuels), théâtres (Sala Becket, Teatre Lliure). Ainsi, les activités qui s'organisent à partir du travail et la recherche des artistes résidents, ont une majeure répercussion.
Mission and Objectives

Jiwar Creation & Society a les suivants grands objectifs: - Développer l’interculturalité et la cohésion sociale - Accueillir en résidence artistes et chercheurs de partout dans le monde, spécialement de la région méditerranéenne et arabe-musulmane, en facilitant leur mobilité et visibilité à Barcelone. - Favoriser le développement de projets interdisciplinaires avec une finalité sociale menés par des équipes de travail interculturels. - Privilégier l’interaction et l’échange (jiwar= voisinage) à travers de projets et d’événements entre les artistes et chercheurs résidents et les institutions, artistes, voisins et voisines du quartier de Gràcia (Barcelone).

Main Projects / Activities

Tel que nous l'avons indiqué, notre activité principale est la résidence d'artistes. C'est à partir des propositions des artistes résidents que nous travaillons avec nos partenaires du tissu social du quartier. Notre projet le plus emblématique dans cette première année de vie a été "Entrellaçades, teixint coneixement desteixint prejudicis" (Entrelacées, faire connaissance, défaire préjugés) qui a reçu une subvention du gouvernement catalan (Direcció general d'Immigració). Femmes catalanes du quartier de Gràcia issues de la résidence pour les personnes âgées ont partagée un mois et demi de rencontres avec des femmes pakistanaises et marocaines du quartier du Raval. La couture a été l'espace d'égalité à partir duquel elles ont tissé des relations et découvert de façon naturelle "l'autre".

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Nous avons une grande connexion internationale à travers de Res Artis, Transartis et Wooloo. Nous travaillons directement avec les artistes et cela nous donne la force du terrain. Nous pensons que nous pouvons aporter cette vision internationale au délà de la région méditerranéenne et donner une majeure visibilité a l'ALF.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Nous voulons former partie active du réseau ALF parce que nous croyons à l'importance des liens entre institutions qui peuvent permettre à un moment donné de faciliter des échanges et favoriser la réalisation de projets. Jiwar veut devenir un point de rencontre entre les artistes méditerranéens et occidentaux. Former partie d'un grand réseau ne peut que nous bénéficier pour nous donner à connaître et pour établir des alliances.
