From June 13th to 16th, 22 Kenyan students from BIFA (Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts) participated to a workshop organized by poster for tomorrow and held by Antoine Abi Aad, lecturer at the Academie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts, Beirut.

"Kenya for Japan" is a workshop organized by poster for tomorrow divided to 3 phases: the passive, the active and the interactive.
2011, Japan was devastated by a series of Earthquakes unseen in the Nippon islands since the 1923. Through dozens of competitions supporting Japan, e-communication proved how popular Japan is, moreover, it proved how effective and emotional is this communication. While it was always common to think of financial help when disasters striked, the Japanese case showed a new form of encouragement: the visual support through social networks and supportive websites around the world : Japan might be more in need of human emotions rather than money.

It's with slightly mixed feelings that we announce that the last of our African Workshops is going to start. Mixed because, well, we're sad it's the last, but at the same time we're enormously proud of what we've achieved. Workshops in eight countries across the continent that have produced a wealth (and enormous variety) of experiences and that we hope have been worthwhile for everyone concerned. We're certainly very happy and the feedback we've received has been hugely positive.

And we hope that our last workshop, in Kenya, will be equally as successful. Antoine Abi Aad is currently on his way from Lebanon to Nairobi to lead a workshop at the Buruburu Fine Arts Institute, 13-19 June. He's going to dedicate his workshop to the tragedy in Japan  earlier this year and its aftereffects. Good luck to everyone involved!
