‘Art for Change’ project unveils first cohort, kicks off nationwide tour

The Art for Change project, initiated by TUSC Concepts, has announced the launch of its first cohort.

Over the weekend, 30 talented artists gathered at the Dandora Community Center to represent visual arts in addressing social issues within Kenya.

The unique project has been designed to empower artists and provide them with the tools and resources necessary to create thought-provoking pieces that spark conversation and challenge existing ideas.

With a strong emphasis on collaboration, the project aims to create a community of like-minded individuals who can work together to bring about positive change.

The launch event was attended by Art for Change Head of Operations Lanet Karuiki, TUSC Concepts Founder Ochieng Quinter, as well as media personality Janet Mbugua.

These influential figures lent their support to the project and showed their commitment to promoting social change through the arts.

Over the next six months, the Art for Change Project will embark on a nationwide tour, partnering with local leaders, NGOs, and institutions to bring about positive change in a number of key areas.

These areas include SRHR, gender-based violence, menstrual health and hygiene, police brutality, inclusivity, and mental health.

The project will utilize both visual and performance arts to address these pressing social issues and raise awareness throughout the country.

The Art for Change Project is a unique and innovative initiative that aims to empower artists to become agents of social change.
