Posted on August 20, 2014 by Seb Toussaint

Angie died 2 years ago from leukemia. Her mother asked me to paint her name on her house, in the slum of Mariscal Sucre, Bogota.

New 60x60cm canvas. For sale! Contact me if you wish to buy it. "Bharosa" is the Hindi word for "Trust", a word that Sameena chose and which I painted in a slum in Mumbai. I also wrote the name of the slum ("Phule Nagar") on the canvas. Elders of the community told me that Phule Nagar, who lived a century ago, was an early feminist who fought for young girls to go to school and recieve a proper education ! . #canvas #hindi #letters #typo #typography #type #design #art #acrylic #painting #SebToussaint #PhuleNagar #portraits #women #girls #feminism #patterns #trust #artforsale #contemporaryurbanart #contemporaryart #arte #pintura #india #कला #डिज़ाइन #भरोसा

"After leaving Congo because of the war, I was welcomed here by the people of Uganda and by the UNHCR. Now I have my own house here in the regugee settlement, and I want to be able to welcome people too, with as much heart as I was welcomed when I arrived. I'd like you to paint the word "Karibu" ("Welcome" in Swahili)." - Chantal 24 years old I must say that she did a very good job in making me feel at home! She's so helpful, joyful and cooks great food! It was a pleasure to end this episode with her family, and the word really sums up my experience with refugees in Uganda. . #ShareTheWordProject #Congolese #refugees #refugee #UNHCR #Uganda #EastAfrica #streetart #design #fonts #letters #type #typography #karibu #welcome #SebToussaint #art #muralart #arteurbano #contemporaryurbanart #Contemporaryart #urbanart #painting #patterns #Africa #Nakivale #NakivaleRefugeeSettlement
