📜 STORYLINE:
You are EgoNibi, a world-renowned street artist from the country of Tunam—a place where art has become dangerous.
Your murals sparked movements.
Your messages gave people hope.
But when Tunam’s regime cracked down, you were forced into exile.
Now, years later, you’ve come to Ottawa to host your first major exhibition on Canadian soil.
But you’re being watched.
Your art still speaks truth, and Tunam’s eyes are everywhere.
As you prepare for your exhibit, a disturbing message arrives.
They’re trying to silence you again—but not this time. Follow the art.
Leave your mark.
And don’t let the message be erased.
