Disney+ South Africa has collaborated with Johannesburg artist Dbongz Mahlati to create a proudly South African mural celebrating the release of the third season of Star Wars: The Mandalorian. The much anticipated original, live-action series from Lucasfilm is now streaming exclusively on Disney+.
Dbongz, a street artist from the West Rand in Johannesburg, Gauteng, is thrilled to have created the mural in Rosebank for the streaming giant.
He started participating in street art in 2008 when he first came to the city to pursue his tertiary education. Dbongz then fell in love with the freedom it afforded him, the colours, the huge canvasses in the form of walls, the confidence it instilled in him, and the ability to spread conceptual messages to the masses.
