Banunule School For Orphans, Kampala, Uganda.

The exhibition has already been shown in London @ Cordy House, Curtain Road, Shoreditch, 18th - 21st September. The launch night on Thursday 17th September, saw over 500 people through the doors. With buyers knowing that the exhibition was on for three days in London and then open in Birmingham for 7 days, we saw several large bids on the opening night.
Jibbering combined our love for art with our love for music, the Yabba Funk Sound System and The mighty Jam Jah Sound were the perfect backdrop to Room 1, where the Shambala Art Boards were being exhibited.
Not only were the Shambala Art Boards, the Shambala Fort and the donated pieces on show at Cordy house, the artists in attendance also painted three flights of stairwells and the rooftop walls. Cyclops, Sweet Toof, Discreet and Newso did a fantastic collaboration. Zoot, Gastro and Mac 1 all got in there too. Newso didn’t fail to perform to the crowds, he painted a giant hand in front of 50 onlookers.
The exhibition moves to Birmingham from Friday 10th - Friday 17th October @ Wild Building, 104 - 108 Floodgate Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, B5 5SJ, 10.30am - 6.30pm.

The Shambala Art Boards
@ Shambala Festival Thursday 21st – Monday 25th August.
Shambala is a truly unique and magical festival incorporating music, art, cabaret, kids, healing, crafts and campaigns.
Jibbering Art were hugely proud to arrange the Shambala Art Boards for the festival. Four huge triangular boards and canvas totalling over 1152sqft were erected outside The Dome Arena for the artists to work their magic on throughout the festival and they certainly did.
Showing creativity, fresh & cutting edge graffiti from some of the finest graf artists in the uk. Fluid, Gastro, Glenn Anderson, Junc, LL Brainwashed, Lucy McLauchlan, Mac1 (& Mac2, Mac’s son), Mark 2, Matt Watkins, Motorboy, Newso, Rowdy & Semor & Co & Sweet Toof all painted the boards in their own unique style. We were also delighted to have Faith 47 from South Africa to join us at the festival.
Not to forget Sickboy and his iconic temple, he had to battle rain, randomness and many, many questions from the general punters to make his temple a success. Pictures of his temple will appear shortly on this news page.
