In the Spring of 2022, Slum Art Foundation collaborated with a NYC-based nonprofit Waste Reduction Art Project, Inc. in delivering an engaging art creation workshop to children in Lagos, Nigeria. Derek Gores – one of the renowned recycled art creators, and WRAP’s artist in residence, taught Slum Art kids how to create art from waste scrap paper via a remote workshop. The workshop went viral and 460 kids in Nigeria have created over 500 works of art inspired by Derek's technique. Currently, WRAP and Slum Art are working on the full feature documentary focusing on our young artists' struggle with flood currently paralyzing Nigeria. More than 460 young artists and their families are currently in the IDP camps requiring food and medical supplies. With this full feature documentary, we are hoping to raise awareness and help them come back to their normal lives.
