GRIGRI PIXEL
Creates spaces for cultural cooperation and citizenship between Africa and Europe.
Grigri Pixel explores the practices of cultural cooperation and citizenship between Africa and Europe, through the manufacture of grigris or magic objects intended to protect and re-enchant urban spaces through artistic and digital production practices of a collaborative and experimental nature, from both continents. The aim of Grigri Pixel is to connect and link these experiences of creating cities, between Europe and Africa in order to raise common questions capable of visualizing synergies, points of encounter or differences in the practices and processes of re-enchantment for living together within the city.
In this way, this initiative seeks to build alliances with spaces, projects and local communities in the cities taking part, with which it cooperates in the collective construction of grigris, protective objects that materialize and symbolize the creative potential of the group in the city in the face of processes that are homogenizing and commodifying their common spaces.
