The walls of Senegal are replete with graffiti art, a practice stretching back decades.
Synonymous with hip hop culture, rebellion and sometimes pure vandalism, graffiti's being rebranded by the RBS Akademya, which is making efforts to change any negative perception.
Serigne Mansour Fall, graffiti artist and member of the collective that founded the academy, remains upbeat about the initiative.
Fall's convinced the art form will deepen understanding of their society and foster appreciation.
With the intention of creating a bastion for graffiti art, the academy's founders also hope it'll serve as a hub for up and coming artists to be guided by experts.
Prior to developing their own style, students undertake three theory and practice lessons weekly, for 6 months, getting exposed to an array of techniques.
Disillusioned by traditional schooling, Ibrahima Soumaré's been granted the opportunity to hone his craft as an artist at the academy.
Libasse Sarr appreciates graffiti as a non-violent form of expression and making his voice heard.
In order to register at the academy, there's a 40 euro enrollment fee and a further 23 euros monthly covers tuition.
With only four students to a class, they have ample access to the founders.
Upon completion of the course, students obtain a certificate and an awareness of the challenges that lie ahead eking out a living from their street art.
