Art, Child Soldiers and Uganda
Tomorrow I'm getting together with a guy who just returned from from doing art workshops and photography with former child soldiers in a refugee camp in Northern Uganda. I'm really excited about this meeting; I think it's pregnant with potential. I'm intrigued because what this guy is doing is so much in line with my heart and passions: 1)Using art/creative communication as a processing tool & 2)Working with children in Africa. Further, the artwork kids produce could provide a MAJOR platform for advocacy work in the U.S. -- perhaps something along the lines of the Born Into Brothels documentary... Who knows where this could lead...?
