Kinabuti Fashion Initiative Empowers Nigerians In Orile

The workshop which is aimed at teaching the participant important skills of the making of printed garments and print in silk-screen on different surfaces using local people women in a vocational skill to earn a living and support their children and other dependants in a sustainable manner.

According to Francesca Rosette, "We believe silkscreening is a vehicle for empowerment cause gives everybody the possibility to learn a profession for the future. In fact it is simple, affordable (you don't need fancy equipment or a proper studio to start), uses local available materials, it doesn't require high power voltage (we will also show a technique that uses solar light) and its fun!

"This project is a practical example of how art and passion can be a vehicle to inspire people and make a positive impact in the territory.

The vision is to teach a profession and give power to artisanship: Nigeria has a rich background related to handcraft and its important that youth keep tradition alive and challenge the boundaries of their imagination.
