Raising Awareness of Migration and COVID 19 through Graffiti and Street Art in Accra

In a bid to fight the spread of COVID-19, the EU Delegation to Ghana on Wednesday 27 May joined the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and artists from the Ghana Graffiti Collective, to launch an initiative to use street art and graffiti to create awareness about coronavirus and migration.

The artwork created by the Ghana Graffiti collective speak about hope, tolerance, love and solidarity.

Their aim is to make use of the unique power of street art to call upon everyone to stand together, and to stand with migrants.

The project was made possible through EU-IOM Joint Initiative for Migration Protection and reintegration funded under the European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF).
