Inspiration Poem: The Future of African Street Art

Artwork Description

Resilient Souls, Resilient Art celebrates the kaleidoscope of colours, emotions, and youthful vitality that define Lagos. The mural captures a city alive with movement—where energy has no age limit, and where optimism remains an unshakeable force. With an original central figure drawn by the artist, the work reflects Lagos’ unique rhythm: bold, expressive, and forever pushing forward.

Inspired by the poem The Future of African Street Art, the mural spotlights the pivotal role of young people as visionaries, creators, and architects of tomorrow. It imagines a future rendered in technicolor—a world shaped by courage, imagination, and the resilience found in Lagos’ streets.

Through vivid hues and dynamic composition, the piece conveys a message of freedom, hope, and generational strength. It stands as a testament to the legacy being built right now: one brushstroke, one story, and one resilient soul at a time.
