| Description of the project | Oyo Projects is an association of artists, activists and other committed people that aim to heal and support street kids and young adults by engaging them in artistic and creative urban activities. Since 2012, the Oyo Project team works with street children in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Through public exhibitions, street art and interventions, Oyo Projects raises awareness and encourages discussion, paying attention to giving equal voice to every child who suffer from exclusion from all common goods or activities if they don’t use violence, steel or beg for it. The association also provides meals, medicine and primary health care as well as a reliable contact person to listen to children and have an empathic and solidarity contact to grow up. The main principles are participation and collaboration. Specific projects including commoned painted murals encourage the children to appropriate places and the town to actively design their own city and the streets where they live. | |
