| WHY - we have a dream – the dream of a WE We know, it is always under construction – a vivid and sustainable open process. The vision of a WE in peace and harmony; in freedom, in diversity. A world that is a safe place for our children, for future generations. A healing mankind on a healing planet - we dream that all humanity is one family. We are all one! We believe in music and in art as a core means of expression. As a language of the heart we all understand. That music and art unites mankind all over the planet, regardless of the ethnic background traditions or culture people come from. We know that through music and art we can transcend languages, overcome frontiers and understand other cultures, just as we understand our own. WHO - we are a group of responsible visionaries We are people, women and men, unbound by culture, religion, race or politics. We believe in change, in the power of remembering who we are, respecting our roots and traditions and trusting in a new contemporary vision. Reaching the new, the unknown and creating community. We know that if we want to create a peaceful world we have to start with ourselves. WHERE - the sustainable island of El Hierro, where magic exists We have chosen the pure nature and the culture of the island of El Hierro as a base for our project BIMBACHE openART because it is here, where we feel the power of the mother earth, the wind, the water and the sun - a power that is both strong and demanding. This wild Canary Island has been a world biosphere reserve since the year 2000 and in 2011 will be one of the first islands in the world producing its own 100% renewable energies. It’s a good and magical place to take a deep breath, to stop running, to let go, to do nothing, to feel free and safe, to be timeless, to contemplate, to meditate, to create, to come together for this sustainable open process. WHAT - a laboratory of human sustainability We offer you the opportunity to join our laboratory of human sustainability, to become a member of the Bimbache family of El Hierro. Participate and work with us to develop and teach new ways of cultural understanding for each other on this planet. Let’s protect the freedom of creativity and find tools for a sustainable life together. Let’s awaken and live a new consciousness of CARING FOR OUR PLANET which is the one and only home to all human beings regardless of where they were born. Once a year we create a festival together. Artists from different places come and live together with people from the island. Our purpose is to connect professionals, community-based artists and people together in a life and learning experience so as to investigate sustainable possibilities of music and arts as a vehicle for social activism and civic engagement. For the 2010 BIMBACHE openART laboratory from July 18th to August 1st 2010, we have the vision of offering different workshops and courses around improving technical skills as we learn about human science. Our intention is to illuminate various ways that artists and others can define and support their own course of creative activism and shape their own personal strategies for progressive social change.
