IEATA Conference in Hong Kong.

Pre-conference workshops offered by Harambee Arts Nepal at the 11th annual IEATA Conference in Hong Kong.

Expressive Arts and Human Trafficking in Nepal

Seven Nepali trafficking survivors and their technical support team spent four years being trained by Harambee Arts in expressive arts techniques. This courageous team of women, who have undergone indignities that no human being should ever experience, told their stories and believed in the process that gave them new life. They have become strong and capable teachers and are sharing the same techniques that allow them to dream of a healthy future. Be prepared to tap into your shadow side as well as your joy through visual arts, storytelling and dance.

Visit the 11th annual IEATA Conference website for more information & to register.

In May we had another month of expressive arts fun in Kibera! Kibera Kid4Peace continues to paint in the alley ways of the slum. The group enthusiastically has a handful of new members from the children around the neighborhood. We welcome any child walking past to grab a brush and join in on the fun. On our last visit a few boys became so involved with the painting they even started painting each others bodies!

In May, Harambee Arts returned to the prison with Margaret and Ann from Africa Yoga Project for more yoga and expressive arts. Margaret and Ann taught two yoga classes while Sofia led the women through drawing Gratitude Mandalas. They are both fantastic yoga teachers, with an ideal balance of discipline and humour. Their classes combine yoga with music and even a little dancing while in warrior position! During the class each woman visibly experiences several emotions or feelings from frustration and pain to joy and strength. This can be seen in their expressions- bright smiles and giggles or contorted faces […]

We had a wonderful day in Kibera! The kids and the Harambee Arts staff make a great team. The kids rushed to get all the plastic and cardboard settled on the ground as we poured paint and water. They painted portraits, abstracts, landscapes and other images that inspired them. Half way through it started to rain! The rainy season has officially arrived in Kenya which means Kibera can get flooded and muddy. First we played in the rain and then all scrambled into the Masai Mbili art studio. When the sun came out we ate warm chapattis and orange juice […]

  On March 30th, Harambee Arts partnered with Moses, Margaret and Ann from Africa Yoga Project to bring a combination of yoga and creative expression to the women of Langata prison. The women thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Some of them were natural serious yogis, lifting into shoulder stands with complete ease, while some giggled and collapsed. It was a lot of fun. Since the group is now 60 women strong, half the women took a yoga class while the others painted and drew. After an hour the groups switched, followed by a delicious, filling lunch. One of the prisoners on remand […]
