En San Agustín, Colombia, población víctima y personas en proceso de reincorporación vienen trabajando conjuntamente en una iniciativa de seguridad alimentaria, convivencia y reconciliación.

Culminando 6 años en Colombia, y como regalo de despedida de este hermoso país que tanto me ha enseñado, tuve el privilegio de presenciar y de participar en el alistamiento del suelo antes de la primera siembra de hortalizas. Un proyecto muy inspirador, entre las demás oportunidades esperanzadoras que buscan aportar a la construcción de paz en este país.

We are back at it with a new dance video with Shema! I will always be so grateful to my Kigali family, for you have pushed me to step out of my comfort zone, making me (re)discover my passions and find happiness and fulfillment. It has been a wonderful journey by your side. Ndabakumbuye cyane. See you soon <3 Video credits: Step One Pictures.

Urbano Ángulo Mina was born in La Concepción, in the Naya river basin, Colombia. The claws of war took one of his brothers, who happened to be an excellent musician. There is no doubt that this passion for music is a family trait. Urbano shares his songs to the rhythm of the bombo drum and guitar, spreading his joy for life and tenderness to those who hear him | San Francisco, Colombia, 2016.

Alex, also known as b-boy Dance Machine (@bboydmachine_heskey), is originally from Kawempe, in Kampala, Uganda. His first encounter with b-boying (breakdance) goes back to 2008. Since then, he has been part of different projects, such as the Breakdance Project Uganda, a youth centered project that uses b-boying as a tool to empower youth. He has been living since 2013 in Kigali, Rwanda, where he has found a family of friends in the hip hop community: Abatanguha crew, a dance brotherhood forged in Kimisagara that gathers dancers from various dance crews in the capital city. Together, they train and actively share with the youth their knowledge, passion and love for dance, inspiring positive social change in their community. Today, Alex is attending the Break-Fast Jam, a Ugandan annual event that brings together different elements of hip-hop and urban art, featuring breakdance battles that he will be competing in. Best of luck my brother, I know you will shine!

This picture was taken as part of Rwandan fashion designer Mizero Cedric’s (@cedric250) inspiring ‘Fashion for All’ project. In Gishoma, Mizero’s home village, we met with his 52 year old neighbour and close family friend, Budesiyana, also known as Tika, whom he has known since the age of 8. Gishoma is a small village in Western Province of Rwanda (close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi) where people live off agricultural activities. In spite of economic challenges, Mizero cherishes Gishoma for the feeling of happiness he founds being surrounded by nature and with his loved ones. With this project, this promising young designer wishes to show people who are not not usually expected to be part of the mainstream fashion industry. «I am so proud to share my ideas with people all over Rwanda. It is my way to give back to my country. Fashion should never be limited to a certain age, size, social or economic status», as he puts it.

Portrait of my friend Mizero Cedric (@cedric250), one of Rwanda's promising young fashion designers. We spent the weekend in his home village, Gishoma, in the countryside in Western Province of Rwanda (on the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo), where we organised a photography session as part of his inspiring 'Fashion for All' project: "this is my way to give something back to my country. Fashion should never be limited to to a certain age, size or social status", as he puts it. *Pictures coming up soon*
