CYCLES
Jamii's
In 2026, Jamii marks 15 years of artistic practice rooted in care, community, and shared experience. This milestone is not framed as a celebration alone, but as a moment of attention. A pause to recognize what has been built together, what has been carried forward, and what is beginning to take shape. Our artistic direction for the year is guided by a simple and resonant feeling. It feels right.
We understand this feeling not as certainty, but as recognition. It is the quiet clarity that surfaces when an action, idea, or gesture aligns with values, intuition, and responsibility to others. It often arrives before language. It is guided by care, conviction, and attentiveness, and rooted in purpose, contribution, and necessity. It appears when something is meant to be done.
Throughout 2026, Jamii’s Cycles offer artistic experiences that hold space for reflection and memory. They acknowledge transformation, lineage, and change, while also creating moments of gathering, celebration, and joy. These workshops centre practices that speak to intuition and values, and that invite participants to consider futures that feel grounded, hopeful, and necessary.
This guiding line shapes all of our 2026 Cycles workshops.
To support this vision, lead artists were invited to work with three shared prompts:
-
Recall a moment when you acted before you could fully explain why.
-
Create from what has been carried and what is beginning to emerge.
-
Consider a future that feels right, not perfect.
The artists facilitating these workshops are people we know and trust. Each has been part of Jamii’s story in different ways, returning with care, generosity, and a deep understanding of community-based practice.
These Cycles are an invitation to take part, to be present, and to create together. We hope you’ll find something here that feels right.
