Lu Lu Evans, O N C A Manager
Tina Ziegler, Moniker Art Fair Director

An artist at heart, Louis Masai is increasingly seen as an activist, a term he uses with some reluctance whilst acknowledging the power of visual language and social media. Masai wants to use his art as an agent for change and ecological awareness. He is an artist first and foremost but his strong beliefs inform his practice at every turn. His street practice should be understood as a dialogue and complementary to his gallery work. 
Masai understands that the ecological issue facing mankind is possibly the greatest threat we have ever faced and one, which this generation has a duty to address.

Charlotte Webster founded Human Nature, which supports and promotes UK street artists, seeing them as as a vital component of the positive transition to a sustainable future. Over a decade, she has worked in communications to further this school of thinking, not least with Solarcentury, one of the world's leading solar tech companies.
