(Hello I'm Jess, I'm running this campaign for my friend J in Uganda. Please support this wonderful project!)
A message from J:
Anima Hues Studio is an arts for social justice organization based in Uganda. The organization was founded in 2018 and has since served to advance the cause for social justice especially for marginalized communities.
The niche for the organization is in its ability to provide a free and safe space for marginalized artists to speak out on issues pertinent to them which no other discipline or medium, apart from art, can provide. This is because these issues are normally left to the margins of discussions that are considered key. The artists then make these issues visible and deserving of policy considerations by starting conversations around them through exhibitions and panel conversations with artist.
However, Anima Hues Studio is faced with a big challenge of sustainability due to lack of resources to continue renting space for the Studio and for the last one year and a half, the studio has staggered between different spaces of well-wishers hosting it for a couple of months, then art items and furniture being stored away until there is another well-wisher. This has affected and continues to affect our services to the marginalized communities we serve. The studio serves over 190 artists especially from rural and peri-urban areas so far and was continuing to grow.
We thus seek your generous support for us to be able to establish a sustainable space for our studio.
The good news, one of the founding members has offered us a piece of land for us to build our own studio spaces and an exhibition space /Hall.
We request you to contribute the little or much you can to make our DREAM a reality.
We plan to have some studio rooms rented out to able artists so that we have proceeds from this buy materials for marginalized artists' work and the day-to-day running of the studios.
We thank you most sincerely for your heartfelt contributions, and if you would like to keep in touch about our progress in future, please let us know so that we take note and update you.
We are looking to raise USD 25,000 for the studio project.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
J
