COLOUR IN FAITH: Kenyan Art Orchestration Highlighting Love in Yellow

COLOUR IN FAITH! Loving humanity through yellow from Kenya to the world!

Once more, the Heinrich Boell Foundation welcomes you experience the transformative power of "yellow!"

What: COLOUR IN FAITH Project Launch

Where: Circle Art Gallery, James Gichuru Rd., Lavington - Nairobi

When: September 2, 2016

Background:

COLOUR IN FAITH is an art orchestration highlighting love in yellow.

The colour yellow will be used to reframe how we think about faith in our collective spaces...

The idea is to focus on houses of worship (Synagogues, Churches, Temples, and Mosques) and paint the physical structures that hold these communities together, the colour yellow.

The colour symbolises and speaks to LOVE as the most important notion in any religion.

The idea is an art orchestration that creates a space for the expression of faith in humanity and universal values. The orchestration would bring faith outside of the walls of institutions into an experience of encounter, expression of common acceptance and tolerance, and offer the opportunity to those of many faiths to extend their reach beyond and across institutional walls.

The historic culture of pluralism gets reflected upon, honoured, and expressed in the public realm. The orchestration offers an opportunity to reframe security, reclaiming it from those who use faith to justify and create instability. These cities often have long-standing travel advisories against visiting them on the basis of insecurity. The cities will offer a global invitation from the voice of those who claim cultures of warmth, peace, and acceptance.
As places of historic pluralism, these landmarks will be highlighted as a point of reference for what is possible elsewhere in the world.

Entrance is FREE and open to the public!
