Dear supporter,
The Bay Area Mural Program (BAMP) is offering a life-changing cultural exchange and professional opportunity for ten emerging Bay Area artists of African descent or with a compelling connection to the project. As the participating Oakland artists bring light to a rural Kenyan school through solar electricity, they will gain an enlightened sense of identity, global community, and ability to leave a lasting global impact through their art.
Founder of the BAMP, Andre Jahmora has traveled across Africa and feels a special connection to Kenya. He chose Kenya to be home of the BAMP’s first international mural and humanitarian project because for him, going to Kenya felt like coming home: “Of all the places I’ve been in Africa, Kenya feels the most like African American cities.” Connecting with Kenyan people, art, music, and history strengthened Andre’s own identity as an artist and he’s now driven to help more artists in his local Oakland community join this shared experience.
Thanks to generous supporters, we have already raised more than $90,000 toward our $115,000 funding goal for the BAMP and GivePower Inc’s Kenya Art Solar Exchange! The remaining $25,000 of our goal will ensure that our artists have all the resources they need to thrive and leave an unforgettable legacy in Kenya.
If you feel inspired to help us reach our goal and become part of the legacy of the Kenya Art Solar Exchange, please donate.
Thank you for supporting the BAMP and fostering global connections through art!
With gratitude,
The BAMP Team
