Inside Africa (BBC) on Matatus in Nairobi, Kenya
Here's an Inside Africa (BBC) clip that highlights
the visual culture of matatus in Nairobi, Kenya, and particular the work of
Matwana Matatu Culture to highlight and document it. I've only recently
stumbled upon their blog and youtube site but, yeah, I wish I'd see the same
enthusiasm directed towards vehicle decoration in Nigeria. – Note that the
documentary speaks of the imagery on matatus as 'window into the culure,' 'art
galleries' or 'museums on wheels' and reflections of Nairobi's urban youth
cultures. Obviously, I concur.
