Untitled (Stay safe)

Didactic murals that explain, in clear visual language, the importance of hand washing and face masks in preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
Brian Musasia Wanyande/Msale
From The Guardian: "A street artist called Msale has taken it upon himself to create giant murals bringing public health messages directly to the overcrowded Mathare slum in Nairobi. With half a million people living in such 'a squeezed area' social distancing is quite impossible to achieve, says Msale, so he is providing information for people on how to keep safe in the 'simplest, clearest' way he knows."
