Imagine: A Better World

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.

In the Fall of 2022 WRAP and Slum Art completed a documentary short that was submitted to the Bloomberg Green Docs competition. Yana Good Nigen attended the festival at the Skirball Center in LA.

Currently, WRAP is working on a documentary series featuring master artists sharing their technique with young aspiring artists.
