Wide Open Wall



The Wide Open Wall project was started by Lawrence Williams, designer and proprietor of the magnificent ecological and cultural project at Makasutu and the river lodges at Mandina. Lawrence, a keen artist himself, had been working with local artists on a project called Bushdwellers for a number of years and has always wanted to expand the project into something more, something lasting that could both function as a valid art installation in itself and at the same time promote The Gambia as a tourist destination. The basic idea was to turn some of the village of Kubuneh within the Ballabu area into a living art project. After speaking with Eelus, a street artist of world renown, Lawrence suddenly had himself a curator and the first Wide Open Walls project was born.

Roa in Gambia




I have loved Roa's work for quite some time, but when I saw these pieces in Gambia my heart melted - so beautiful! Amazingly talented!

The High Line


“The High Line was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. It lifted freight traffic 30 feet in the air, removing dangerous trains from the streets of Manhattan’s largest industrial district. No trains have run on the High Line since 1980. Friends of the High Line, a community-based non-profit group, formed in 1999 when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. Friends of the High Line works in partnership with the City of New York to preserve and maintain the structure as an elevated public park.”
