AIR-PORT 2013 in ESSAOUIRA


Ninette Nurk, founder and creative director at Designers Against AIDS and Beauty Without Irony, a Belgian NGO is bringing art to Essaouira.

The project with a big heart will unite Moroccan and international artists (including Olaf Breuning, Daniel Riera, Mustapha Fakir, Mohammed Laouli, Baki, Ben Ali, Felix Richter, Tom Tosseyn, Nick Hannes, Marie-Françoise Plissart, Thierry Van Biesen and many more) as well as young students in an exhibition and in helping concretely some of Essaouira’s most disadvantaged youth get on their feet again and begin a professional life.

After the exhibition the original art works will be auctioned, with the proceeds going to 2 charities, so the most disadvantaged youth in Essaouira will get a chance to step into their adult professional life in the best and healthiest possible way.  One of the charities is the Association Lutte Contre le SIDA (ALCS), as HIV/AIDS is a big problem in Essaouira too, the other charity is called  Project 91.

Essaouira is verry enthousiastic about this and somehow it all comes together. 
The energy that is filling the air here is screeming for something more and this wonderfull initiative is just coming as an answer to change lives for the better.
