Rashid Juma

Community environmental activist and professional stage magician – Rashid Juma has led the creation of a vibrant eco-park out of a dangerous and toxic dumping ground within a large tract of land in Eldorado Park. The site, now called Go Green Go Clean, is home to green lawns, flower gardens, land art, murals and walkways where before piles of refuse, drug dealers and crime proliferated. The project has taken almost a decade of community organisation, advocacy, diplomacy and physical labour to reach its current state as beloved and safe public space. He is a Director of The Beehive Culture Worx and has played a key role in community liaison and workshop facilitation while developing a body of photographic work documenting the organisation’s initiatives.
