In Lagos, Nigeria, the city’s first street art festival has transformed parts of the metropolis into an “open-air gallery,” showcasing vibrant murals created by local and international artists. Ashaolu Oluwafemi, one of the featured artists, emphasized the festival’s role in bringing art to the community, allowing residents to engage with creativity that is typically less visible in the region. The festival, ongoing until December 15, aims to celebrate Lagos’s dynamic culture through public art. Various murals reflect the city’s spirit, with artists sharing stories that resonate with the local population.
