Kitui, when art improves the urban landscape

Graffiti colours and narrates the territory

21-08-2024 by Freddie del Curatolo

All it takes is a little colour, artistic talent and, above all, a love of one's surroundings, and even the anonymous neighbourhood of a small town in ‘poor’ Kenya can provide a glimpse and a fringe of beauty.
In Kenya with no master plans, no infrastructure and no services, with streets and towns left to almost total anarchy, young people with artistic ambitions and a vision that is not to enrich themselves at all costs or to take advantage of others, show that it takes little to give dignity to the places where they live.
This video shot in Kitui and its story are an example of this.
