Jahazi Vol 1:Building Bridges

Synopsis

 This first issue of Jahazi focuses on what seems to be the natural place to re-enter that space, building bridges. Building bridges between generations, amongst cultural and artistic views, linking practice and theory in the arts, connecting cultures and valorising diversity… in short creating a forum where the arts, culture and performance can converge and share and engage and consult and yes… grow!
