Focus on AfricaAvailable for over a year
Twenty-four-year-old Itumeleng is a creative artist and designer from Botswana. Talented in many art forms, his favourite medium is spray painting. But unlike a typical graffiti artist, Itumeleng works on plastic sheets instead of walls. His art on display around Botswana's capital city, Gabarone, has got people talking. But why plastic? Journalist One Mokgatle finds out about Itumeleng's inspiration and ambitions. Photo: Street graffiti artist Itumeleng spray-paints onto plastic. Credit: One Mokgatle.
