We provide the community with the services and facilities that enable them to benefit from a rich and lively artistic sector through;
- Creating platforms for talent to showcase their skill and exchange knowledge

- Mentoring via workshops featuring experienced individuals in the arts and entertainment industry

- Enabling resources so the community can strengthen their artistic talents as well as self awareness and reflexion
People use crafts, poetry, music, painting, dance, acting or comedy as ways to tell their stories. It is the collection of all these diverse talents of the people of our community that draws the fascinating, constantly moving, picture of Kibera.
