The workshop was organized by Rafiki Art Trust, inviting two artists from Kenya and Uganda (waweru Peterson-Kenya and Jhuuko Hood- Uganda), also two artists from Zanzibar (Seif Soud and Masoud Othman). The theme of the workshop was Public art, "let art speak by itself". We collaborated with Street Kids, Students from Jangwani Girls Secondary school and Azania Secondary schools. Also some different artists (veterans and upcoming artists around). It was done at the fance-walls of jangwani Sec school, along Morogoro road and United
Nations road, in Dar es Salaam. We decided to use that wall as the roads are very popular and it is the main road coming to the Dar es Salaam city center. read more >>>
