In March 2024 , French street artist SETH and New York photography icon MARTHA COOPER teamed up for a special project in Lwala, Western Kenya. They were there to visit and support “Nyota,” a charity project dedicated to empowering the local community through educational projects for children and youth. Nyota runs a daycare center for orphans on weekdays and enhances the local food supply with organic farming, permaculture, and free training for local small scale farmers. The idea of integrating art into Nyota’s activities had been considered before but never materialized, making SETH’s proposal highly anticipated. Known for his child-like, figurative motifs, SETH’s art style was deemed a perfect match for an organization focused on aiding children, including those who are traumatized. ↑ SETH “Valentine in the Wind” Lwala-Primary school, Kenya; photography © Sören Gerhold/ StadtWandKunst ↙ ↓ Children at Lwala-Primary School and Nyota, Day Care Centre, Kenya; photography © Martha Cooper Recap TRAVELING WITH SETH IN KENYA
