Charles Washington has been participating in an artist-in-residency in Luanda, Angola with ResiliArt Angola from November to December 2022, making amazing art connections & collaborations!

 

The Houston based artist is the co-founder and Executive Director of Harambee Art Gallery in Houston, Tx. Washington describes himself as a renaissance man who's art expresses his feelings about his life and the world around him.

​

ResiliArt Angola was launched by the American Schools of Angola (ASA) in April 2021, under the umbrella of The Biennale of Luanda – Pan-African Forum for the Culture of Peace and as part of UNESCO ResiliArt global movement. Directed by Dr. Marcos Agostinho, Executive Director of ASA, these innovative residencies allowed emerging artists to learn first-hand from established artists, how to improve their skills and to gain visibility. The residencies also offered emerging young artists the necessary “social interaction, intellectual growth and education” for them to blossom and thrive.
