Long-term PROJECTS
Over nearly 2 decades, Barefoot Artists has worked with many different communties around the world. The projects below are those to which we have made long-term commitments. The projects extend over a period of years, not days or weeks. They are more comprehensive, multifaceted and deeply rooted.
Dandelion School is located on the outskirts of Beijing in a heavily polluted, under-developed and high crime area. It serves the educational needs of five hundred and twenty students from families of migrant workers. Barefoot Artists has worked with the school since its founding 18 years ago. During that time the school has received nationwide recognition in China for their innovative curriculum, art has become central to their identity.
Since 2011 Barefoot Artists has completed 3 projects in the West Bank: Balata Refugee Camp, Al Aqaba Village and Nablus. We are grateful to Majdi Shella, our program coordinator. His knowledge, dedication, and social network made all these projects possible.
