The Brownmonkeys and Pilipinas Street Plan go mural-mad on a 60 meter long wall on the Abu Dhabi corniche. The graffiti mural wall was part of the official line up of WOMAD 2010, and it was three days and two nights of culture, amazing music, and gorgeous beach-side weather. Every night, kids got to participate in the wall as part of the WOMAD children’s workshops, and it was fun helping out little future artists draw and paint on the wall. The whole experience was exhausting; we were all staying up late till 2-am every night of the festival just to finish the wall on time.
However tired we all got we still had so much fun. Everyone was just feeding off each other’s energy and the camaraderie was infectious. As the graffiti wall came together, seeing the reactions and compliments of festival goers as they passed by made it all worth the effort. Here’s hoping we do it all again next year!
