e homenagem a Julius Nyerere (1922-1999), também conhecido pelo cognome Mwalimu (professor, em KiSwahili) pela sua anterior ocupação antes de se dedicar à política. Foi presidente da Tanganyika e após a independência, da Tanzânia. Foi o primeiro tanzaniano a estudar numa universidade britânica e o segundo a completar um grau universitário (“Master of Arts”) fora de África. Mwalimu Art Project

Mwalimu Art Project is a meeting point and a tribute to some of Mozambique’s best contemporary art. Every three months an artist occupies an 11m2 wall presenting an unreleased work, integrated into BLUG and UNUBA’s workspace, in a dialogue that breaks barriers and builds bridges between art and brands. Mwalimu Art Project pays tribute to Julius Nyerere (1922-1999), also known by the nickname Mwalimu (teacher, in KiSwahili) for his previous occupation before devoting himself to politics. He was president of Tanganyika and, after its independence, Tanzania. It was the first Tanzanian to study at a British university and the second to complete a university degree ("Master of Arts") outside Africa.
