The flowers of the wall

With help from the city of Gavá, the Sahrawi painter and artist Mohamed Moulud Yeslem, presents here in the city his project “a flower for every landmine.” Through this initiative, he has mobilized schools, civil society associations, other entities and even private citizens to make flowers and bring them to be planted next to the landmines that hide the world’s longest wall, a wall constructed by Morocco in Western Sahara and which has reaped division among the Sahrawi people for over 33 years. In all, they have planted 3500 flowers, but they have also learned that they are not just planting flowers for Western Sahara, but to fight against all walls or other buriers to humankind, wherever they may be.
