Art informs and empowers. Think so Art 360 Kibera, a group of artists from the Kibera suburb, in Nairobi, who dedicate their efforts to raising awareness in the community of the importance of wearing a mask and fulfilling social distance through their graffiti. Kenya, which is experiencing a second wave of covid-19 these days, registers almost 100,000 cases of coronavirus and more than 1,700 deaths since the pandemic began. “The drawings remind you of the importance of wearing a mask, so we are achieving a change,” explains one of the young women in this video, the work of local journalists from the African Slum Journal project, which Planeta Futuro publishes periodically exclusively.
