VOICED : Benin's mural comes alive with street art inspired by its past

The video discusses a mural project in Benin, part of the New Berlin Festival, aiming to create the world's largest outdoor mural. It highlights the involvement of local and international artists, inspired by artifacts looted by colonial France and recently returned to Benin. The project is supported by the Claudine Talon Foundation and aims to connect people with Benin's heritage. Despite economic modernization, critics argue that democracy in Benin has suffered. The mural seeks to promote history and identity, with plans to expand it to 1300 meters by next year.
