Introduction.

“If social justice is a way of thinking about the world and discussing its many faults and problems, then art is a way of interpreting these thoughts and bringing them to the attention of the public.” Hello MayBrook Flair family, together with @theart_ke we announce a call for artists to participate in the social justice campaign that is to last the whole of September. Artists working in any medium are encouraged to submit their artistic expressions concerning social justice. To all artists, all entries are welcome regardless of your experience or education in the art field. Submit via our email – content@flair.co.ke or through theArt_ke.

Participants.

The action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change can be extremely empowering. It allows one to stop others from being distracted from important issues. Regardless of what makes you passionate, you can use this passion to do good and make a difference. ” Art gives us hope, that united we are greater than the sum of our problems, greater than the sum of our differences.”

Background information.

On 2/09/2022, with the help of our Artists community and theArt_ke, we rolled out the #social justice campaign that was to last for the whole of September ending on 30/09/2022. The campaign was all in echo towards equality. Every individual must be treated fairly and equitably by society for it to be socially just. Unfortunately, social injustice is everywhere. The face of social injustice has changed with the modern era, as evidenced by the movements against sexual harassment, refugees’ awareness, to black lives matter, etc. In the end, there is no clear framework as to what social justice really looks like in practice, but as long as a nation value social justice and remains committed to its principles, true progress is possible.

We had a selection of various diverse artists and nationalities who were highlighted at the end of the campaign including an artist on the spot. They all had artworks done of civil rights leaders and social justice activists coming from a variety of racial, and religious backgrounds and classes who decided to stand up against injustice and fight for social change. They gave back to their respective nations & world at large through their firm deeds. To date, they inspire a transformation in thoughts and actions within society.

Meet The Artists.

Following the #Socialjustice campaign, it is a pleasure to introduce the following representative artists of their native nationalities who made their pieces available to highlight the various activists.

  • Ephraim Wina – Kenya.
  • Nuru Daniel – Kenya.
  • Jesse Josh Goje – Nigeria.
  • Joy Eyitayo Alagbe – Nigeria.
  • Chadrack Makano – Uganda.
  • Mondli Kunene – S.A

Meet The Activists.

Bob Marley: By Nuru Daniel.
“If you’re white and you’re wrong, then you’re wrong. If you’re black and you’re wrong, then you’re wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green – God makes no rules about color; only society makes rules where my people suffer, and that’s why we must have redemption and redemption now.”
Martin Luther King Jr.: By Ephraim Wina.
“A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.”
Burna Boy: By Jesse Josh Goje.
“I’m Nigerian. I’m African. I have a lot to say. Apart from what I say, though, is the feeling. People can relate to that feeling. It’s a reciprocal relationship. They feed off me and I feed off them.”
Fela Kuti's painting illustrates social justice.
Fela Kuti: By Joy Eyitayo Alagbe.
” I want to move people to dance, but also to think. Music wants to dictate a better life, against a bad life. When you’re listening to something that depicts having a better life, and you’re not having a better life, it must have an effect on you”.
Nelson Mandela: By Chadrack Makano.
“Our single most important challenge is therefore to help establish a social order in which the Freedom of the individual will truly mean the Freedom of the individual”.
Wangari Maathai drawing illustrates social justice.
Wangari Maathai: By Chadrack Makano.
“Human rights are not things that are put on the table for people to enjoy. These are things you fight for and then you protect.”

Artist On the spot.

Artist on the spot: Mondli Kunene.
“I believe that Art should not only be beautiful but also raise informative aspects between the viewers. Art should inspire, and art should educate. It doesn’t help that you create music or painting or a poem that doesn’t inspire. To be ahead of your time can be fulfilling and tiresome at the same time. God is the creator, henceforth I am creative! “
The painting by Mondli illustrates social justice.
NithiUbaniOcaptured.
Created #nithiubaniocaptured simply to raise awareness and provoke thoughts in the minds of the masses because White Monopoly Capitalists have been in control of South Africa and are currently still in control of it. There is a lot I can say about our leaders, a lot of positive and negative impacts we have faced and still facing to this day, due to decisions they have made.
