Known as the capital of concrete, Pristina is trying to revitalise its dull and grey image with vivid graffiti on walls and buildings, helping transform public spaces into more inviting, vibrant areas.

More than 100 artists from 28 countries have covered 2,000sq m of walls at Rruga B (Street B) in the city with art at a festival over the past three days.
