Event Details
For the After the Missionaries issue of Artlink, a
number of artists responded to the hypothetical scenario where a local council
was seeking proposals for developing a project with its sister city in the
Third World. How might a project bridge the global divide?
Claudio Torres is a
Chilean artist/architect/musician who for the last four years has been working in various
development projects in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. In response to this call,
he proposed a project involving 'a painted mural on a ghetto wall'. Well, he is
now at the point of realising this idea and is seeking support. He needs US$500
for materials, US$500 for rental and US$300 for a small daily allowance paid to the crew of youngsters who will paint the mural, to ensure it is finished in time.
To cover these costs, we are releasing 65 tickets at US$20 each. You can think of these as admission fees to see the mural, but that would involve also a ticket to Nairobi which isn't covered by the ticket cost. Or you can consider it a small donation that helps spread art a little more widely around the world. Follow www.craftunbound.net to see the results.
You can see Claudio
explain the idea here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiC920jcl2Q
Basically, Claudio
is using an A3 poster as a sketchbook which he is distributing to the people in
the ghetto of Mathare. Designs for the mural will then be put up for popular
vote among the people in the ghetto. The winner will be then painted on the ghetto
wall for one month, or longer as the wall owner allows it.
Can you help?

Craft Unbound continues the exploration of new developments in
contemporary craft, particularly related to the movement of ‘poor
craft’. ‘Poor craft’ is used here as a term to describe the creative
strategy of using materials that have little or no value. It is a style
that has been important in recent Australian contemporary craft, but
resonates also with practices elsewhere, particularly in the South.
Citizens of Mathare have voted on their favourite design. There was a clear winner with a striking design. All ticket holders have been sent an email with the details and link to the successful entry.

'Chora ukuta' means

A Southern way of showing art? – Southern Perspectives
What if a community in that other world decided to host its own art event? Rather than spend millions setting up a satellite biennale, jetting in the art world, what if they sold tickets for a virtual presence? The outside audience would enable the event by their purchase, and in return obtain restricted information about the kind of world that emerges.
Some words from Claudio Torres about Mathare:
this
is not a squatter town,
most of
the people living here pay rent
without
receiving urban services as sewage or waste collection
while gangs control the few available ones;
60% of
the population of this city of more than 3 millions lives in slums
and these
villages don't appear on the maps.
Mathare is already 64 years old
with families renting here since three generations.
