We are pleased to share with you details of the Art Therapy Workshop that took place as part of the Kampala International Theater Festival on November 20, 2024, at the headquarters of the African Organization. The workshop was a collaboration between the African Organization and the Tiber Foundation for the Arts in Britain.
The workshop was led by British artist Sophie Besse and Sudanese artist Mahned Hasab Al-Rasul, the star of the “Mahned and Butr” theater. Twenty young men and women from the Sudanese refugee community in Kampala participated in the workshop, where they learned structured art therapy techniques and shared wonders of visual poetry.
The participants embarked on an inspiring journey accompanied by photographer José Farinha, carrying with them a few bamboo sticks that helped create multiple worlds and characters. They engaged in sharing both sad and happy memories during this creative experience.
