As part of the celebration of the EUROPEAN WEEK 2010 and under this year theme of Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion, a giant painting on canvas has been done by Kurasini Orphanage Center and Dogodogo Center children (8 - 17 years old), under the conduct of Ernest Mtaya & Frank Yustard, two Tanzanian artists experienced in working with children. The colourful paintings reflect the concerns of the children and teens: exclusion from schools, violence to children but also their dreams: being a footballer or a fashion designer.The giant painting (acrylic on waterproof canvas, 10 pieces of 3m x 1.2m) has been done at Nafasi art center, Mikocheni. It took 6 days and it will then be displayed for a week on the front of IPS building (next to Askari Monument and Posta, one of the busiest places in town) in a position ensuring a maximal visibility from the busy streets.
All are invited to the official opening at IPS building courtyard, on Wednesday, 12th May, 4pm to 6pm. A live performance including slam poetry on this year's theme will live up the event.
