NEW TRIBE

In 1997 an organization called Nueva Generacion was formed out of the need for young latinamerican inmigrans in London to have a space where they could feel they belonged, the Idea of Laura Villegaz lead this collective to create a sence of belonging through theater, music, drumming, painting and many artistic expressions, this collective was disolved in 2011, from this learning process new needs and challenges for both migrants and artist give birth to New Tribe, a space that intends to be a bridge between art and community a plataform owned by the artistic community.

2011 Bar-Etica: this space started in the living rooms of Andres Posada(Colombian ), JP Bimeny (burundian singer/musician), Stepan Honk and Paya Lehane (Check Republic) here people was invited to jam and create in a friendly and cosy enviroment.

by the summer of 2011 New Tribe was invited to Host the internet radio page of Extramusical1.com in its studios near Elephant and Castle, that would be the new Home for the Bar-Etica Sessions and the New Tribe Collective until 2013.

in summer 2013 New Tribe joined forces with the Latin-American-Yuth-Forum to co-create the Together as One Festival in the heart of stockwell in South London’s famous Wall of Fame with music performances, Workshops, Dance, Capoeira, Grafiti, Circus acts, and talks all free and open for the community. from this experience we moved to create and co-create many “Art Jams” occupying various spaces such as Cafe Cairo, Pop Brixton, Brixton Block, Reclaim Brixton, Reclaim Love, and various parks and events until finding its home for the last 5 Years at the Fridge Squat in N15.

The Art Jams are the platform where we invite our members and friends to share with the Community in ritualistic ceremonies of expression of togetherness and belonging like the Day of the Dead/Samhain, Love is Not for Sale, Candelita Night, Womens’s Day and Diver-City.
