Shakawe and Gumare — THANK YOU! 🙏🏽✨

You were exceptional hosts this past week as we INTRODUCED AMPLIFYING DELTA VOICES: ART FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY to your communities.

This marks the beginning of a deeply important journey — one that seeks to bring community voices to the forefront through the powerful vehicle of artistic expression, to influence change and demand recognition.

We are honoured to have been welcomed so warmly, and we look forward to walking this path together.

This project is funded by THE COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION.

📸 Stay tuned for more updates as the journey unfolds.
