<div>Art for Justice: Emergency Support for Goma, DRC
</div>
<div>Hosted by Mboko Lopiki &amp; The Tunga Art Lab
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Goma, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, is facing a devastating crisis. Ongoing armed conflict has forced tens of thousands from their homes. Artists, families, and entire neighborhoods are struggling to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Originally, we set out to raise funds for a 2026 Contemporary Art Biennale—a dream rooted in healing through creativity. But right now, that dream is on hold. The people we hoped to celebrate through art are in urgent need of food, shelter, and safety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re asking for your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>New Goal: $3,500 for Emergency Support
</div>
<div>This fundraiser now focuses on immediate, tangible aid for artists and their families who are displaced and in danger. Your donation will help with:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Emergency Food Relief
</div>
<div>$25 = one week of basic food supplies for a family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Temporary Shelter &amp; Rent Assistance
</div>
<div>$50 = covers temporary housing for a displaced family for one week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Medical &amp; Hygiene Kits
</div>
<div>$15 = basic first aid and hygiene needs for one household.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Art as Healing
</div>
<div>Even in conflict, Mboko and The Tunga Art Lab continue to offer movement and art workshops for children—creating moments of calm, expression, and resilience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div>The crisis in Goma is not just local—it's tied to global systems of exploitation. For decades, foreign corporations have profited from Congo’s natural resources like coltan and cobalt—essential to our smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles—while leaving devastation in their wake.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Art helped us tell that story. Now, survival must come first.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe in mutual aid. We believe in solidarity. We believe that even a small donation can make a real difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
