Street Art Africa

The first survey to take in the street art of the African continent, this enlightening book was written by Johannesburg-born Cale Waddacor, who has been documenting local graffiti for decades and wrote Graffiti South Africa in 2014. Street Art Africa covers no less than 250 artists in 35 countries, and also includes a glossary of graffiti terms, interviews with top artists and an excess of gritty yet striking images. The book is divided into five sections for Eastern, Central, Northern, Western and Southern Africa, and explores the graffiti scene in various countries and cities. It introduces festivals, projects, and regional differences, while also examining how politics, place and history influence street art.
