This visually rich survey - the first of its kind - showcases the
work of over 200 artists and celebrates the explosion of street art
in Africa over the last decade. Including twelve in-depth
interviews with street artists active in Africa today as well as
coverage of the continent's major street art projects, collectives
and festivals, it takes the reader on an introductory tour of the
many African street art scenes, with a deeper focus on the most
prominent players in Kenya, Morocco, Senegal, South Africa and
Tunisia. Topics and projects covered include the monumental project
Murais da Leba in Angola, which saw 6,000 square metres of wall
covered by local graffiti and visual artists in the Serra da Leba
mountain range; the cultural influences and idiosyncrasies of
individual street art scenes, and how they mesh with local
communities; and eL Seed's project 'Perception', a huge multi-part
mural stretching across more than fifty buildings in Cairo's
Zaraeeb neighbourhood, revealing a message of hope to its
marginalized community in the artist's distinctive 'calligraffiti'
style. Text commentaries elaborating on styles and processes, and
social and cultural context, are peppered throughout the book,
giving the reader further insight into a wealth of striking
contemporary visual cultures - and helping make this a must-have
for street art fans and practitioners.
