The Nile

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it. I'm going to start posting a human rights resource or organisation with every drawing. Making my drawing a day into a human rights activity. Who knows who it may help!

The first resource is an organisation I have run events for in the past, they are brilliant:

My husband and I are planning a human rights tour, here is the information.

Terrorist activity and refugees displaced by war, and in particular the media reaction to these events, is creating tension and intolerance in The UK and Europe. Social media is filling up with political unrest and vicious attacks on our fellow human beings. I would like to use art and human rights resources to calm this down for as many people as I can reach.

I have been drawing every day for a year and a half, and sharing this on social media as widely as I can, I have been encouraging other artists to take part, thousands of people have viewed the work, they have found it therapeutic and inspiring, the artist participants have found it life changing.

My work can be seen here:

I would like to use my art as a vehicle to promote tolerance and human rights. I would like to take my "Create A Drawing A Day" project (and my family) on the road to tour Europe, and draw first hand, the beauty and peace, that is a more accurate representation of every day life, than the images the media shower us with. I would like to accompany these drawings with links to as many human rights, and humanitarian organisations and resources as I can find.

My husband and I will continue to work at our jobs on tour, we need at least £5000 to launch the project. Buying a camper van and insurance etc.

Thank you very much, Love Kirsteen
