Tomorrow, we kick off the Fisherman's Art Workshop and Civic Engagement in collaboration with @CosterOjwang, @watendawili and @WillisRaburu. This will be a civic space where we use art, as a mirror of our society, to deliberate on not just where our country is, but which direction we want it to head in, and how we can all collectively ensure we achieve that vision.
We welcome all talented, passionate Kenyans in and around Bondo to join this space and take part in this conversation. This is the start of civic education done differently; through the universal language of humanity.
