The Activities That Expand From Walls Of Hope Focus Upon Designing, Creating, And Completing Community- Based And Collaborative Art Projects.

These Use The Strategies Of Various Arts To Rebuild A Torn Apart Region Where The Legacy Of Wars And Political Violence Is Followed By Social, Institutional, And Economic Collapse.

The focus is the creation of:

Community members decide what, where, and how to do their project.

They are given opportunity to share their histories and traumas as they design and develop the project.

International artists are invited to share with the community their skills and artistry producing week -long workshops designed to teach and disseminate techniques, skills, and innovative aesthetic propositions.

Community members are also trained to facilitate art classes.
