Bahrain - Aerosol Edition
In December 2022, three aerosol artists traveled to Bahrain with the Next Level program. Artists Chino (Site Manager), Mast, and Asend visited Manama for the two-week program. The residency’s local partners Colormaze and Bahrain’s Ministry of Youth and Sports assisted in the program’s implementation.
During the Academy portion of the residency, the artists taught courses on the history of graffiti, as well as technique courses on color theory, paint application, wall painting, and nozzle usage. In addition, the artists also discussed how they monetized their art through an entrepreneurship day.
The team was provided with a wall to paint a mural, which was presented to secretary-general of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports Aymen Almoayed at the Muharraq Youth Model Centre.
Through connecting with local communities, and representing their art authentically, the Aerosol program was able to leave a lasting mark in Bahrain.
