THE NALA PROJECT
THE NALA PROJECT
is founded by long distance cyclist and artist André Pilz from Leipzig / Germany.
He is cycling from Cape Town to London via East and West Africa.
NALA: On the Way he is telling the story of NALA, an 8 years old South African girl who is following her dreams to travel beyond the mountains.
André shows NALA´s Journey through artworks (paintings, sculptures) which he is creating together with African artists in an unique art project.
The artworks are shown in several exhibitions in Africa and Europe. The benefit for the artists is to gain international exposure.
SADE: On his way, André is also collecting messages to SADE from her fans, because SADE inspired him to this journey and NALA was brought to life while listening to a SADE song. If you like her Music, you have the chance to write SADE a message in the Fan-book which André carried through Africa and when he reached London he will hand it over to SADE.
TOUR: You can see Photos of André´s and NALA´s cycling-tour through Africa.
At the moment they are back in Kassel / Germany to promote The NALA Project with Exhibitions and Slideshows about NALA´s Journey.

NALA gibt Hoffnung.

NALA gibt Hoffnung.
Das NALA Projekt entstand 2013 -2016 während einer 16.000 kilometer Fahrradreise bis zur mitte Afrika´s.
Getrieben von dem Gedanken, die Welt zu erobern und hinter die Berge zu reisen, beschloss ein kleines südafrikanisches Mädchen, ihren Träumen zu folgen.
Sie verließ ihr sicheres Elternhaus und folgte den Wolken und den Sternen von Südafrika bis nach Kenia.
Während Ihrer Reise traf sie André, einen Fahrradfahrer aus Leipzig.
Zusammen lernten sie viele helfende und freundliche Menschen kennen, darunter sehr viele Künstler, die NALA auf ihrem Weg durch Afrika malten, schnitzten und aus Metall schweißten.
Es entstanden bisher ca. 160 Kunstwerke von mittlerweile 115 Künstlern aus 15 Ländern.
Die NALA Projekt Webseite wurde seitdem von Menschen aus 157 Ländern besucht.
2014 stolperte Jennifer Karch Verze über die NALA Webseite und lernte damit viele Namibische Künstler kennen, die beim Imago Mundi Kunst Projekt mitmachten.

2016 vermittelte Das NALA Projekt 2 Malawische Holzschnitzer zum World Wood day nach Nepal.
Dieses Jahr konnte das NALA Projekt gleich 2 Kunstprojekte mit afrikanischen Künstlern verbinden.
1. Der World Wood Day 2018 in Angkor What, Siem Reap, Kambodscha
Naze Abdou, entdeckte die NALA Webseite, und fragte nach Künstlern, speziell Holzschnitzern aus Afrika.
NALA vermittelte somit Holzbildhauer aus Zambia, Tanzania und Malawi. http://www.worldwoodday.org/
2. II Weltgipfel der Künste für Frieden und Leben in Quito, Ecuador
Renato Reúl Ulloa entdeckte die NALA Webseite und fragte ebenso nach Künstlern.
Das NALA Projekt vermittelte somit auch viele Künstler aus Tanzania, Kenia, Uganda, Rwanda, Äthiopien, Eritrea und aus der Schweiz.
Wir hoffen nun auch in Zukunft auf künstlerische und friedliche Freundschaften zwischen Menschen aus vielen Ländern dieser Erde.
Bis bald
