Chalewote Festival meets Colony of Congo
Day three of the Chale Wote Street Art Festival 2025 opened as another feather in the cap of this year’s programme. The festival’s doors opened even wider to new voices and fresh perspectives. The day welcomed budding filmmakers, musicians, and beauticians into the spotlight, creating an intergenerational dialogue that wove together playfulness with politically and socially grounded themes.
