Jupiterfab

The artist splat his time among working on art and on creating and coordinating a group who could work together. Nowadays, the NGO Jupiterfab counts with many people from different fields. On one side there are professionals who help on the field work and on the other, people who help organizing and communicating the projects. Under the title “Communities’ human identity,” Jupiterfab’s team develops projects designed to help marginalized communities to emphasize the importance of both diversity and the individual in an increasingly globalized world and to spread out their needs and issues. These works underscore the uniqueness of a physical area, an institution or a population in a way that improves the relationship of the community internally and externally: internally, by strengthening its own sense of community, and externally by giving voice to the needs and issue of the community and/or attracting potential new investors, citizens, or visitors. To accomplish this, Jupiterfab lives with the local population for a period of time (typically from one to four months), familiarizing himself with the people, immersing himself in their traditions and collaborating with local artists, associations and foundations. The community projects are structured around one or more murals and a photo, sound and/or video report. Moreover they can be enriched with more art works depending on the project and the people involved. Some years ago, Jupiterfab decided to use his knowledge and his art to help marginalized communities around the world and in the last 6 years, he has been working with several communities around the world trying to strengthen their sense of identity and trying to give voice and visibility to their needs and/or issues outside their borders, using art tools.
