Boa Mistura: Al Karama

As part of their project Crossroads, Boa Mistura produced a short documentary that tells their experience living and working with the community of La Casbah, Algiers’ old town.

Algiers’ old town, Casbah, was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1992, but it is nowadays very damaged.

It is called “La Blanche”, due to the original color in which the mediterranean port painted years ago. Boa Mistura decided to bring back the white color, preserving some of the actual old and wasted color, and to write inspiring messages that could make the walls and people shine again.
