Ujamaa [ Workshop ]

Ujamaa International Artists’ Workshops were held during 1991 and 1992, the first at Wimbe Beach near Pemba in the north of Mozambique and the second in a disused garage in Maputo. These workshops were the first of their kind to be held in Mozambique involving international artists. In total 45 artists participated, many from other parts of Africa. At the end of both workshops, the work was exhibited at the Brazilian Cultural Centre in Maputo.

In 1997 the Gate Foundation organised another workshop called Ujamaa at the Nucleo de Arte in Maputo.
