Photos taken October 2021.⠀⠀⠀"With this wall, I wanted to pay homage to education, school, women and freedom. But above all to this heroine that's @malala, an example for me!" @jodibona ⠀⠀⠀https://malala.org/malalas-story⠀⠀⠀"I start by painting the wall entirely with aerosol with very colorful geometric shapes influenced by Graffiti, tag and lettering, which I started with in 1988. I then add some very basic stencils of weaving directly borrowed from Pop Art and Roy Lichtenstein in particular (dots, circles and lines). Then, I come to hide a few large advertising posters in color, and to finish a very large visual printed in black and white which I stick above all. Then I tear and scrape the successive layers of paper with a sharp tool to return to the starting point (the colored graph), and especially to give the illusion that the wall has lived. “ - https://www.entreleslignes.be/le-cercle/richard-tassart/la-marianne-de-jo-di-bona excellent article with quite a bit of background by @richardtassart.⠀⠀⠀Artist website: https://jodibona.com Mike Franks https://streetartcities.com/users/0127e760-c655-40c3-9fd9-4a94f211a361 https://streetart.media/3/33f4fe04-db34-43e5-832f-d961cdde2dfd/1024.jpg 1024 480 480 <iframe src="https://streetartcities.com/markers/8f4caac8-9836-4569-ad5c-cba4a01a4b1a/embed" width="480" height="480" style="border:none;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%;" loading="lazy" allow="fullscreen; storage-access" title="Malala by Jo di Bona"></iframe> 3600
