French Artist JR Honors Slums of Kibera, Kenya

Many of you may remember back in September when I wrote about French artist JR's project 'The Hills Have Eyes' in which he honored the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by drawing faces on the houses that lied on the hills (if not CLICK HERE).
Well he has come back and done something similar in Kibera, Kenya. This time, 2000 square meters of rooftops have been covered with photos of the eyes and faces of the women of Kibera.





The train that passes on this line through Kibera at least twice a day has also been covered with eyes from the women that live below it.





With the eyes on the train, the bottom half of the their faces have been pasted on sheets on the slope that leads down from the tracks to the rooftops. With this, their eyes will match their smiles and their faces will be complete whenever the train passes.
