In Lieu of Pics

So I am blatantly stealing this straight from Alex's blog, one of the other CFK volunteers, but only because she is stunningly and unbelievably amazing. Here is more chances to see Kibera:

• "The Constant Gardener": All of the slum scenes were filmed in Kibera. The railroad, overhead shots of the house tops, and all of the children shouting "How are you?" are very classic snapshots of Kiberan life.
  
  
• "Kibera Kid": a movie filmed in Kibera, starring a local kid. In the vein of Slumdog Millionaire though the Kiberan actors haven't been nearly as well recognized or compensated as the stars of Slumdog.

• Kiberan art project by French artist, JR: He took beautiful photos of women in Kibera, blew them up and pasted them on the tops of homes, the sides of the hills and even on the train that runs through Kibera several times a day. The coolest part is that he sliced the photos up, putting part on the hillside bordering the railroad trakcs and the middle part on the train so that when the train passed by this specific area, the parts all line up perfectly to display the whole face. I absolutely love art that turns everyday locations/materials into masterpieces as well as investing back into the community.

Thank you Alex :)
