When I was eighteen, I concentrated on writing for film and television. I'm inspired by African stories and I'm currently specialising in telling stories through animation.<\/p>\n<h3>How long have you been an artist?<\/h3>\n<p>I've been writing for ten years and working as a presenter for three.<\/p>\n<h3>Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?<\/h3>\n<p>I applied for this scholarship because I love storytelling and I'm always delighted to have the opportunity to tell African stories. My desire is to use film to offer a hopeful vision for the future of Africa. This grant will enable me to invest in the production of an ambitious and aesthetically innovative short film.<\/p>\n<h3>What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of the residency, I hope to produce a short stop-motion film that proposes solutions and remedies for the failing healthcare systems in many African countries.<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-13923 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/africalia.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/profile_picture_-_justus_macharia-jpg.webp'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/africalia.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/profile_picture_-_justus_macharia-150x150.webp\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"profile_picture_-_justus_macharia.jpg\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h3>Justus Macharia<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li> AGE: 26 years old<\/li>\n<li> COUNTRY of residence: KENYA<\/li>\n<li> CITY: NAIROBI<\/li>\n<li> ARTISTIC DISCIPLINE: ANIMATION<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":13922,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1042],"tags":[],"pays":[1032],"class_list":["post-13923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bourses-creativity-is-life","pays-kenya"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13923"},{"taxonomy":"pays","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pays?post=13923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
