About Us
Skaped is an artivist charity that works with young people in East London to educate about community building and human rights through the creative arts.
We do this by running arty events, educational workshops, and providing paid work/training opportunities.
Our Story
Skaped was founded by Sandy AbdelRahman and Thay Graciano and is rooted in their respective lived experiences as migrant young women in the UK, their dedication to social action, and their shared love of the arts.
Skaped (derived from the Norwegian word for ”create” - skape) aims to empower young people to create positive change within their communities. We believe that, in order to create a more connected world, individuals must cultivate a better connection. with themselves.
We are an artivist organisation that leads through care and acceptance.
