Street Art Africa

Dedicated to the visually dazzling world of African street art, this volume surveys the work of dozens of artists from across the continent.

This visually rich survey showcases the work of over two hundred artists from more than forty countries as it explores and celebrates street art in Africa over the last decade. In Street Art Africa, readers can reflect on works such as the monumental Murais da Leba in Angola-a nearly 20,000-square-foot expanse of wall covered by local graffiti and visual artists in the Serra da Leba mountain range-and learn more about the idiosyncrasies of individual street art scenes and how they mesh with local communities, such as eL Seed's project “Perception”: a huge multipart mural stretching across more than fifty buildings in Cairo's Zaraeeb neighborhood that provides a message of hope to marginalized communities.
