Home / About Us
Tuki Foundation for Arts, Peace & Cultural Reorientation (TFA-PCR) is a Nigerian non-profit using creative practice to build peace and restore shared values.
Our Story
[Replace with the founding story — when the Foundation was established, by whom, and the moment or need that prompted it. Two or three paragraphs is right for this section.]
Since then, TFA-PCR has grown from a single travelling drama troupe into a foundation running structured programmes in arts development, peacebuilding and cultural reorientation, working with schools, traditional institutions, artists’ collectives and local government across [region/states].
We are registered in Nigeria as [legal status — e.g. an Incorporated Trustees body under the Companies and Allied Matters Act], governed by a Board of Trustees and run by a small full-time team supported by volunteers and associate artists.
A society where the arts are a living instrument of peace, identity and dignity for every community.
To create, inspire and transform — through artistic excellence, cultural education and sustained peacebuilding at the community level.
To promote the arts as a public good, to mediate and prevent conflict through culturally grounded dialogue, and to reorient values through heritage education and civic engagement.
What Guides Us
Every community we work in is a partner with knowledge of its own, never a beneficiary to be managed.
We fund and make work that tells the truth about the places it comes from, including the uncomfortable parts.
Programmes are designed with community leadership and handed over, not run indefinitely from outside.
We work across ethnic, religious and political lines and take no side but the community’s.
Plain reporting on what we spent, what worked and what did not — published, not filed away.
Reorientation is generational work. We measure in years, not in single events.
How We Work
Culture is not decoration around development work — it is the mechanism. Our programmes follow a deliberate sequence.
Community consultation and conflict mapping before any programme is designed.
Artists and residents make work together — drama, song, film, craft — about what they found.
The work becomes the occasion for dialogue that would not otherwise happen.
Local groups are trained, equipped and funded to continue without us.
