Sacred Sister Party Bus Project

Woman-Identified Artists of All Mediums are invited to apply to participate in the “Sacred Sister Party Bus” ! This creative action will explore women’s stories & experiences with various modes of transportation (walking, cars, matatu, train, etc), as well as examining spirituality, nature and creativity as modes of non-material transportation.

Participants will be asked to engage in dialogue with each other about these themes while aboard a privately rented matatu to Lake Naivasha. The experience will be recorded via photo and film. This is not a paid opportunity. Participants will be provided with lunch and same-day, roundtrip transportation to Naivasha.

Four artists will be selected for this opportunity on the basis of variety and the desire to provide a multiplicity of perspectives on the themes.
