Our Vision
The arts are a lens through which to approach the world: they not only have the power to reflect and represent the communities they occur in, but also to shape them.
For INNOVASTUDIO, the arts are not only defined by community, but also driven by the desire to make the dynamic, authentic narratives of Mozambique visible.
We combine our knowledge and experience with curatorial practice, studio art and pedagogy to create programmes that offer opportunities for comprehensive, relevant and impactful skills-development in art making, art-appreciation, and academic response to art.
At INNOVASTUDIO, we expect that art students will:
- Cultivate skills;
- Embark on creative exploration;
- Participate in a collaborative exchange:
- Commit to ongoing practice.
And INNOVASTUDIO will provide students with:
- Problem solving;
- Progress base learning;
- Growth mindset;
- Safe environment.
