Kuru Art Project

In contemporary Africa, the Bushman artists of the Kuru Art Project bring back the role of art as an expressive outlet for their traditions and recent life experiences, as their ancestors had done in the many rock paintings all over Southern Africa.  The Kuru Art Project encourages and assists these artists by exposing them to contemporary art materials and techniques, as well as the administration and marketing of their art, which has become a much needed economic resource for this group of artists and their community.

The Kuru Art Project was founded in 1990 and is a project of a community trust called the Kuru Development Trust. It is situated in D’Kar, a small settlement in  western Botswana.
