Visual Practitioners in Africa & Arab Speaking World[a][b]

Local capacity is a beautiful thing. Let’s weave the network of practitioners in Africa and the Arab Speaking World!

Please add your information so when we get requests for practitioners in any African country or in the Arab Speaking World so we can connect each other - easily. Put yourself on both if applicable. The Africa table is at the top of this document and the Arab Speaking table is below. If you need help setting up an online presence, leave a note below - potential clients want to SEE examples of your work. If you are a practitioner NOT residing in Africa or an Arab Speaking Country, state how you are available for African gigs where there is little or no international travel funds.  If you are a facilitator and NOT a visual practitioner, add your name to this page: Facilitation Practitioners in Africa

In the core I help people explore and visualize their stories.

I work as a graphic recorder and only on work on big sheets of paper (so no digital drawings).

I also work as a graphic facilitator where I use mainly the drawing skills of the participants (yes, everyone can draw) for inspiration to design my visual story afterwards.
