About Us

Maputo Street Art, a registered organization in Maputo, Mozambique, was founded by engaged artists in 2012
Since its inception, a dedicated & interdisciplinary artist collective has worked tirelessly to bring public art, in the form of murals, photography, screen-printing, music, theater, poetry, & other mediums, to communities around Mozambique
The majority of art schools, galleries, funding, & opportunities are concentrated in the wealthy & central zones of provincial capitals
Our mission is to bring art & community development programs to under-resourced neighborhoods, promote artistic expression, facilitate cultural preservation, catalyze gender & youth empowerment, & foster community development
We seek to create open spaces for youth outside of city centers to explore art as a mode to communicate emotions, tell the stories of their neighborhood, discover new ways of thinking, & obtain income generating skills

Maputo Street Art believes that our country urgently needs innovative thinkers, from communities most affected, to take a proactive part in designing our future
