Artists spent the first session discussing some of the major challenges they face working as artists in their respective countries. All artists shared similar difficulties in producing work that is tangible enough for an audience to grasp while they expressed how hard it is to deal with the different perceptions society has of them and what they do. The common struggle for everyone is still how to make a profitable living from just creating art.

Other ideas included pairing artists with individuals from the community, and having public screenings to show the images back to everyone, and allowing people to tell their own stories. |
