Rita Sousa, from Portugal, came with our European Solidarity Corps project “Anatomy of the Town”, completed her 10-month long activity and went back to her home. In the project, Rita developed so many art products at her hosting organisation, the Association of Sustainable Development of Sinop.
As a graphic designer, Rita focused on creating handmade products that were sold in order to support the costs of surgeries, medication and food for the street animals. These products were sold in specific times of the year such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Summer, and are themed accordingly.
Rita also helped in other projects, such as creating a website for the virtual exhibition “Through the Lens of the Other”, which focuses on the past stories of young refugees living in Sinop. She also created posts for Epeka’s Instagram account in order to promote not only that page, but also the short movie “The Purgatory”, which was created previously.
Many thanks to Rita for all outstanding efforts for us!
