Being an artist means you reinterpret your experiences, the societal pressures placed upon you, the childhood you had. The life you're living, your success and failures, into a reimagined from that can speak to others. Being an artist is a constant process, not a permanent trait. For me to be an artist it means a lot, because I feel so free when I'm creating something.
Helping others and working with kids it something I have been doing since high school and it a moment which I will never regret in my whole life because I learned a lot from them as they learned from me. Waste management it a huge problem here in Tanzania because people burning all the garbage instead of proper methods. I wanted to share waste management because we're participating in a recycled art competition, which is aimed to educate the community about waste management. It my hope that we will come up with many more ideas which I will not wait to share.
David organizes annual Art Exhibitions hosted at Maembe Cafe & Lounge located in Moshi, Tanzania. Our first Art Exhibition featured paintings within the theme, 'Discover Kilimanjaro' created by the students in the Street-Connected Youth Education Program. The next Art Exhibition will be a collaboration with multiple primary and secondary schools in Moshi in an art competition to create a product only using recycled materials.
