I came across this street art (?) in Mombasa and was wondering about it. Anyone with an explanation for these symbols?

the symbol looks like it is from the classic arcade game “Space invaders”.

Hey kikuyumoja, This sort of tile work was originally the worl of a street artist known as “Invader” though there are quite a few imitators now. Looks like this could have been up since January 2006:

There’s a world map of “invasions” here:

(In a former life, I worked for a company that ran street art festivals and we tried to get hold of Invader for an event…)
Hmm, I mis-spelled Mombasa, but the link should still be groovy…
