East Africa·Run by Regional Printmakers Network
East African Women Printmakers
A regional screen-printing fund spanning Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, and Kampala: shared equipment, mesh, and ink.
Women-run print studios in Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, and Kampala share equipment the way the old workshop movements did — but shipping a bench press across a border is a different problem from buying one.
This USD fund handles the cross-border kit: shared screens, hinge-set and degreased; ink by the litre shipped regionally; and a rolling residency slot so a Kampala printer can work a month in Nairobi.
What a donation buys
- 35 USD — a hinge-set screen, shipped regionally
- 90 USD — a litre-ink shipment across one border
- 320 USD — one artist's month-long residency slot
A cross-border equipment log and residency roster are published quarterly.
