What if art was used for good, as a means to create a smarter and more holistic society? Faouzi Khlifi, also known as “eL Seed”, grew up in a modest social class in Paris, his father worked at a car factory and his mother was a nanny. Art wasn’t a part of his life, he just loved to draw.
Today, eL Seed is best known for fusing Arabic calligraphy with graffiti to paint colorful, swirling messages of hope and peace on buildings in Tunisia, Nepal and quite a few countries around the world.
During Tolerance and Inclusivity week at Expo 2020 Dubai, eL Seed joined a group of panelists to discuss the power an art piece has on a community and its ability to shape the society as a whole.
