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
