Nigeria: Artworks come to life live at the Lagos Street Art Festival

Artists and art enthusiasts gathered in Lagos on Saturday for the second Lagos Street Art Festival, where murals were created live. The event brings art out of galleries and into public spaces to make it accessible to a wider audience. Street artist Michelle Masete praised the festival as a chance to celebrate art’s power, discover different works and find inspiration. Organizers also provide artists who may not be accepted by galleries with a platform to express their creativity and gain exposure.
