How do people react when they learn that she’s Senegal’s first female graffiti artist? Do they grimace because they believe that women shouldn’t paint or do they applaud her for following her passion?
33 Words
This is based on Dieynaba Sidibe, Senegal’s first female graffiti artist. Through her artistic expression, Dieynaba wanted to show solidarity for women, because “all women, everywhere, whether they are fishmongers, graffiti artists or office workers, we are all fighters. Women are fighting to be free to do what they want, to do work that pleases them, to be paid equally to men, and to follow their passion.”
