One of the many highways in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Nigeria. Sadly it is not the case for the Niger-Delta regions of Nigeria where most of the wealth used in developing FCT comes from. A feeling of injustice and inequality. #abuja #nigerdelta

According to her website Mona Caron is a Swiss-born, San Francisco-based artist, using muralism, illustration and photography in both her art and artivism. Her focus is on community-informed and site-specific murals in public space. She has created large-scale murals in the US, Europe, South America and Asia, has delved into stop-motion animation as part of her "WEEDS" project, and co-creates visuals for street actions and outreach with social and environmental movements. Murals in public space are Mona's primary focus. Her goal is to activate public space by simultaneously creating artwork and interactive street happenings, using the painting’s narratives to spark conversations and critical awareness of the space we share. On this website, Mona's mural work is loosely grouped into the following, sometimes overlapping categories: Narrative murals Mona's first decade in muralism was defined by extremely site-specific, detailed, and community-immersive narrative murals, reflecting the past, present, and future imaginaries of their neighborhoods through a uniquely permeable participatory process, considered part of the artwork. This process has been featured in an Emmy-winning documentary film, "A Brush With the Tenderloin", and has been the underlying praxis for most of Mona's work in her home town of San Francisco. Weeds In recent years, Mona’s stop-motion animation and botanical mural series titled ”WEEDS", a metaphor about resilience and resistance, has been growing in numbers and geographic reach, as well as in the scale of the pieces. https://monacaron.com #switzerland #SanFrancisco #artist #muralist #illustration #photography #artandartivism #communitymurals #publicspaces #createArt #largescalemurals #US #Europe #SouthAmerica #Asia, #visuals #streetArt #painting #sparkconversations #ArtUnites #CreateArt #MakeArtNotWar #PeaceLoveHappiness #UnitedWorld #ArtHeals #ArtTherapy #CrossCulturalIntegration #UniversalLanguage #BeautifulWorld #PaintMakeCreate #Documentary

1.  Ayanfe mi. 
This appellation is so right for my Baby:  A-YAN-FE mi, my beloved; the one I've CHOSEn/I choose (yan) for LOVE (ife).
In other names (so far), there's OloruniFELA ~ Olorun (God), ni o (it's He - reflexive, God - who does/did), fe (expand), ola (wealth, broadly defined). 


2. Destiny Train (so pick me up, let me ride in first-class)
This song was love at first listen for me, maybe eight years ago.  (I don't think this is the exact recording that I had.)  I love when people tell the truth, and you could feel the truth of this singing.  Amazing girl. 
I met her of course, more than once.   There was that season in which I met 'everybody' in the arts in Lagos, it seems.  She'd mentioned that it was tough working to pay the music bills lol, but she did record again and share this nice music video - Wherever You Go. 
Her Ayanfe Mi was on that FADER mix by IKON and ShowDemCamp and TheCollectiv3, which was a nice surprise.
