In January, an art workshop will be held for orphans in Nairobi, Kenya.
Japanese artist Yoshinari Nishio, whose projects and workshops are inspired by clothing, fashion, and the cultures they represent, will visit an orphanage in Kenya to collaborate with the local children at his art workshop.
Nishio will connect with Tokyo from Nairobi on January 13th, for a videoconference to report on the event.
Joined by supporters and a local curator, he will discuss the outcomes of his workshop and ponder new ways in which to explore how art can be used to contribute to developing countries.
We look forward to your participation.
