Mask making has been there since the ancient times. People used to wear masks so as to hide their true identity and others used them as an opportunity to have new personalities of their desire. Masks are also used for beauty reasons and during festivals not only in the African culture but also other worldwide cultures. This concept was incorporated into the Wajukuu kids’ club program and and is now an activity.

We have been engaging in sports activities in the community for both artists and kids’ club members of Wajukuu. Through sports we experience resilience and nature of tolerance among members and improve team work within the group. For the last couple of months we have been participating in a local football league; the league comprises of sixteen teams. The teams are made up of eight players. The league was an original idea of Wajukuu and its aim was to bring the community together and promote unity.

Shabu Mwangi, an artist from Nairobi has for several months been an IfA Fellow in Art and Culture House Schlesische27 guest. As a painter and activist living and working in Lunga-Lunga, a village in Mukuru slum, Nairobi / Kenya, he heads together with his artist friends a wonderful artistic and educational project for children -. “Wajukuu Art Project”. Shabu’s stories and the work of the group of artists under such difficult conditions have been very touching and I find him necessarily to get to know.
