The Twiza Project emerges from the human rights crises occurring locally, nationally, and internationally. It draws together young adults located in the Algeria, Morocco, Kurdistan, and the United States who want to imagine, then build, an alternative future marked by greater cultural, economic, and political freedoms. It works to build a public space in which everyone has the right and ability to participate.

The term “Twiza,” was chosen to frame the work of this project since it speaks to the communal act of individuals coming together to build a material structure to support a neighbor, such as barn or house. This project intends the term to speak to the collective work of these youth – and those that follow – who actively work to build their societies and to build a the material structures which can support human rights for everyone in their community.
