“Art is normally a rich man’s game, it costs money, so to actually go into villages and leave something that brightens up the place and add something to people’s everyday lives is special, and it’s beautifying, especially if it’s done correctly and respectfully. People travel all over the world to see Graffiti, it’s not just something that you walk past and ignore”.
These are the words of Lawrence Williams, artist and co-founder of Makasutu Cultural Forest and co-initiator of the ‘Wide Open Walls’ project at the press conference welcoming international painters to The Gambia.
