Viva La Muralists! is an annual festival that celebrates and explores street art and its global subculture each September, in Manchester UK. The festival brings artists from around the world to debate, converse, create and to share ideas. The festival comprises of different events throughout the month, including debates, discussions, masterclasses for emerging young artists, new outdoor commissions, new collaborations, film screenings, and the acclaimed event International Doodlebug Day.

I took part in the Summit as chairman over three discussions with artists such as INKIE (UK), MARK WIGAN (UK), AROFISH (UK), THE BOGSIDE ARTISTS (DERRY), SHOK 1 (UK) OLIVIER KOSTA-THEFAINE AKA STAK (FRANCE), DREPH (UK)
