"LION BASE is a documentary that provides an intimate perspective at the the life in the streets of postwar Freetown, Sierra Leone documenting the life of 20 youth that were living in a gutter called LION BASE. It follows the lives of these youth and shows their development: emerging from a life in the streets into forming the creative collective *FOLORUNSHO, whose products and international collaborations are now available in selected locations around the world such as Collette in Paris"

I personally don't believe in charity, as it merely creates inferiority and dependency. I believe that empowerment by providing an individual with the right tools to make changes to their lives will enable positive long lasting change.

Sierra Leone was my first pasting in Africa! I remember arriving at night in Freetown, going from dark to light in every corner...people were appearing and disappearing around me as I was crossing the city... When I was pasting next to the main church in Bo City, the pastor came to me and asked me why I was pasting black and white images on the wall. He looked at me and said: „Dont you have color in your country?“. I guess the significance that black & white art has in my country doesn´t have the same significance in Sierra Leone.

LION BASE

LION BASE is a documentary photo book that illustrates the creation process - and gives a revealing glimpse into the lives of the LION BASE crew - consisting of 20 struggling adolescents in Freetown, Sierra Leone. 

In addition to visualizing the making-of process of the BATIK Edition, the book features a variety of unseen footage from the "Inside Out" project by street artist JR, showing the typical oversize portaits of the very same protagonists of this *folorunsho project. 

The book is only available at COLETTE and selected locations for a retail price of 35,-. All profits will go to the *folorunsho Sharity to provide an education and adequate living conditions for the LION BASE crew. It’s not about charity. It’s all about sharing!
