ARTvocacy Movement
This project worked with youth aged 18 to 35 in informal settlements of Nairobi and Kisumu, aiming to develop effective ways to include them in democratic processes. Barriers identified included deep mistrust in government institutions, poverty, and participatory platforms that lacked feedback mechanisms. Despite these challenges, traditional structures like barazas (community meetings), WhatsApp groups, and bunges (informal parliaments) were already serving as local spaces for civic expression and were seen as opportunities to be strengthened and modernized.
