Monday Murals: West African art, last chance to see...


While there is rebuilding this space at the town hall extension is being used for murals or hoardings to advertise cultural events.  A good use, for this excellent exhibition (We Face Forward) with its promo banner of stretched West African nations' flags. It closes on Sunday 16th so you'll have to move quickly to catch it... Head for the City Art Gallery, Platt Fields costume Museum and the Whitworth Gallery. 

You can watch footage of some of the Whitworth Art Gallery’s We Face Forward activities. There's also Lamine Cissé & Sidiki Dembélé and their lively drumming at the Band on the Wall's We Face Forward party.

Every Thursday night the City Art Gallery is open until 9 p.m. which is a real boon for those who work regular hours.
Linked to Monday Murals at the Oakland Daily Photo blog and also making my debut at Mellow Yellow Monday.

  7. Sorry to hear about your job situation. No consolation, but you're not alone these days.

    The photo is great though - I love the way it brings the different flags together.
