“If the World Were a Village is a valuable program that promotes critical thinking about global issues, while also serving up an
overall positive message: we are, after all, a very big village, so it would benefit us to think of other countries and cultures as
next-door neighbors with whom we should live in peace.” –Video Librarian, Nov/Dec 2007. Visit: Master Communications Here, the Dead Are Still Alive

Jorge Miyagui is a Peruvian artist of Japanese descent whose artwork explores the activism,
resistances, and traumas of every day working and middle-class Peruvian people during and after Peru’s civil war, both confronting the findings of the 2003 Peruvian Truth Commission
and highlighting ongoing social justice issues through oil paintings, community murals, installations, and other media. Miyagui’s artwork has been seminal in the collaborative work of
an important collection of young Peruvian artists attempting to confront the past and fight for social justice in Peru’s future. Indeed, Jorge Miyagui is a young, hip, activist/artist whose art is
quickly becoming a rising force in the Peruvian and Latin American art scene.
