Opis: Street Art Africa - Cale Waddacor

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 eleven 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 a huge 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.
