Speaking on Graffiti as a form of art, Adaora Mbelu-Dania Head Of Innovation at A2 Creative said:

“Graffiti has evolved over the years from just tagging your name on walls in one color, to experimenting with different colors, huge pieces, always been a beautiful and creative way to express feelings from the beginning of time”

She stated that although art in Nigeria has been viewed as elitist, the A2 creative group is working towards changing that perspective by creating a platform for Nigerian Graffiti and urban artists to share their heart, and showcase their work in it’s most interactive form.
