Dr. des. Fiona Siegenthaler,
Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology, University of Basel Switzerland Visits
UCASDR program.
It was a great honor for UCASDR to host Fiona. Her research
looks at the relationship and intersection of art and social space.
Our program in Kalerwe
community uses art to change the image of the area through providing art therapy,
sanitation, art in health for local communities, creative skills and design for
sustainability.
Uganda Community Art Skill Development and Recycling (UCASDR) was
registered in 2012.
We have been working within Kalerwe Market area on Gayaza Road for the
past one year making artwork.
The Kalerwe Market has different sections; the market, the slum around
the market, tiny factories and it is very congested.
You can find very low income house-holds with adults, youth and
children.
During an interview
with the local leaders and residents it was said that due to unemployment in
the area, some of the youths have
resorted to petty crime and a number of them end in prison.
Therefore, the community leaders hope this program creates educational
leisure time occupation, employment, therapy and sanitation for the youth, thus
reducing the crime rate in the area.
Please follow our blog
for successful activities .
We are grateful to Godwins Primary School for providing us free
space for our community activities.
Please keep following us, watch out for our upcoming movie about
arts in health and sanitation for local communities .
We believe art can change the artists and people around them.
