How Street Art Is Inspiring Social Change In South Africa, Hannah Elansary, One.org, 2013.
Ricky Lee Gordon is on a quest to prove that Ø art can make a difference. His artwork has been exhibited all over the world from Ø South Africa to the United States, and featured on the BBC and National Geographic alongside world-famous graffiti artist Banksy.
Inspired by his hometown of Cape Town, South Africa, his creative alter ego Freddy Sam is a forever-young, fearless romantic who still believes in Peter Pan. He creates abstract storytelling murals that encourage Ø South African youth and international artists to be creative. The initiative, called Write on Africa, is headed by Ricky’s artist-run project space /A Word of Art.
