Graffiti gains respect as Guinea embraces street art
From COVID awareness to portraits of power, Guinean artist Omar “Chimere” Diaw is transforming blank city walls into bold statements.
His graffiti, once dismissed as vandalism, now hangs in Senegal’s art exhibitions, as reported by the AP on October 24th.
As Guinea faces a tense political crossroads, Chimere’s murals capture a nation caught between revolution and reflection.
