Map of street art in Mombasa (Kenya)
Kenya's second city, an Indian Ocean port built on an island, has a mural scene driven by collectives and workshops rather than public commissions. Projects run with local artists, including graffiti workshops for women only, address civic subjects: equality, cultural awareness and climate disruption.
The old town, with its Swahili houses, its market and its religious buildings, offers a historic fabric where wall painting stays discreet, while the outer districts host the large surfaces. The Shri Cutch Satsang Swaminarayan temple carries mural paintings of its own, belonging to a decorative tradition far older than graffiti.
Invader came through between 20 and 23 January 2006, leaving nine mosaics worth 170 points in the FlashInvaders game. None survived: the entire campaign has gone, which is hardly surprising for tiles cemented twenty years ago in an equatorial climate, between humidity, heat and facade repairs.
