Thousands of art enthusiasts and revelers have thronged the Black Star Square, on Saturday, August 26 to see the amazing crafts on display at the Street Art Festival.
The excitement seems to dance in rhythm with the workers, all busy with their tasks of arranging, testing, and perfecting every element.
Vendors have claimed their spots with their colourful stalls lining the event centre - unveiling a stunning display of African-weaved bags, intricate African cloths, a kaleidoscope of beads, and sewn African dresses telling a story of heritage and craft.
And, of course, the heartbeat of the festival is the art itself. Dotted throughout the event, captivating art pieces including paintings, sculptures, murals and mosaics stand tall, showcasing the diverse talents of various artists – with each piece telling its own story.
