Suspended 22m above the ground in rain and against a driving wind on a cherry-picker, street artist Nadia Fisher, also known as Nardstar*, recently completed a huge covid-19 awareness mural “Ubuntu” in Philippi.
Along with assistant Bernard Greybe, it took the pair 15 days and around 120l of paint to complete the 360 square metre mural, as part of the Open Society Foundation for South Africa’s Covid-19 awareness campaign.
OSF-SA contracted several artists to work in communities including Tafelsig, Philippi, Lavender Hill and Langa. The location of the work is the old cement works in Philippi, where the ribs of the old factory jostle with the more recently built Philippi Village. Nardstar* is no newcomer to the area and several of her works, alongside that of other artists, adorn the walls near to the silo.
