“Museo delle Città del Mundo”, a new museum set up in an old convent in the centre of Palermo.
I tried something a little different this time. The background was painted freehand without tape, rulers or spirit levels. The white lines were painted freehand with a brush.
The Museum talks about cities of the world, how they are planned, how they evolve, and how different cities can inspire us. As well as painting a mural, there is an exhibition about “Share The Word Project” with photos, videos and maps. I am honoured that my work is part of the museum, especially to represent the people I’ve been painting for in slums worldwide. It is the first time that “Share The Word Project” is presented in a museum. It means so much to me, it’s difficult to put it into words.
Massive GRAZIE to Florinda Saieva and Andrea Bartoli from Farm Cultural Park for inviting me. And congratulations to them and their team for putting all this together! It’s absolutely amazing, set in a beautiful old building in one of my favourite cities in the world.
