Fifteen-year-old, Kanyeyachukwu Tagbo-Okeke, an autistic artist from Abuja, is set to make history as he attempts to break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Art Canvas.

The record-breaking attempt, which will begin on November 26, 2024, promises to be a powerful testament to creativity, resilience, and the limitless potential of individuals living with neurodiversity.

Kanyeyachukwu’s canvas will measure an extraordinary 10,000 square metres, surpassing the current record of 9,652 square metres held by Emad Salehi.

The monumental artwork will showcase his unique artistic vision, which often explores themes of emotion, colour, and the connection between humanity and the environment.

Diagnosed with autism at a young age, Kanyeyachukwu has used art as both a form of communication and a means of self-expression.

His remarkable journey has inspired countless individuals, and this latest endeavour aims to spotlight the capabilities of neurodiverse individuals while promoting autism awareness.

The attempt is part of the Impossibility is a Myth initiative that Kanyeyachukwu spearheads to support The Zeebah Foundation’s mission of establishing a state-of-the-art Autism Resource Centre.

The centre aims to provide essential resources and services to individuals with autism and their families.

Kanyeyachukwu, a pioneer student of The Zeebah Foundation, exemplifies the organisation’s dedication to empowering children with autism.

The foundation is committed to fostering inclusivity, care, and opportunities for neurodiverse individuals.

The Guinness World Record attempt will be open to the public on select days, offering attendees an opportunity to witness the extraordinary process of creating this massive artwork.

The event will also feature children, artists, community leaders, and special guests from across the country, all united to celebrate Kanyeyachukwu’s groundbreaking achievement.
