Teenage Art Prodigy Takes on Guinness World Record to Support Autism Centre
In an inspiring display of talent and dedication, 14-year-old Kanyeyachukwu Tagbo-Okeke (Kanye) is attempting to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest artwork on canvas, measuring 10,000 square feet.
Kanye, a student at The Zeebah Foundation and fellow of the Society of Nigerian Artists, is the youngest person to attempt this record and the first individual on the autism spectrum in this category.
The project launches on August 29, 2024, coinciding with The Zeebah Foundation’s 5th anniversary. The foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting children with autism, their families, and caretakers, aims to build a state-of-the-art resource centre in Abuja.
Kanye’s record-breaking attempt is not only a showcase of his exceptional talent but also a testament to his commitment to promoting autism awareness, inclusion and acceptance through art.
