The project's founder, Jamey Ponte, said the road was closed for the event, something that never happened before other than amid protests, and the move was "happily endorsed by the community".

Ponte, an American art entrepreneur more popularly known within the community as Babu or "Grandpa" in Swahili, has been living intermittently in Kibera for more than a decade.
