Far Flung with Saleem Reshamwala (a podcast from TED) is a journey across the globe in search of the world's most surprising and imaginative ideas. In this episode, Saleem Reshamwala explores AfroBubbleGum, an art movement from Nairobi, Kenya, that challenges the narratives often seen about Africa as limited to war, poverty and devastation. But sharing this joyous art is no frivolous task — it can even mean having your work banned. See why AfroBubbleGum faces opposition and what artists, like filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu, are willing to do to fight for it. Also featuring an interview and music from "Blinky" Bill Sellanga.
