Street art festival sees Lagos turned into 'open-air gallery'
The first street art festival in Lagos has transformed parts of Nigeria's largest city into an "open-air gallery," showcasing vibrant murals by local and international artists on Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue. The festival aims to bring art to the people and celebrate the culture and rise of Lagos, highlighting the city's creativity and vibrancy. Despite the challenges in visibility for street art in Nigeria, artists are using social murals to connect with the community and beautify the environment.
