Saleem Vaillancourt is a journalist and human rights campaigner with a focus on freedom of expression and education equality. Saleem has 14 years' professional experience and is a founder of the Education Is Not ACrime campaign. Graduated in 2005 in global politics from the London School of Economics.

About Paint the Change: Paint the Change creates local and global street art campaigns to highlight social justice issues and to create opportunities for community outreach. Launched by Canadian-Iranian journalist, Maziar Bahari, who was the subject of John Stewart's 2014 film Rosewater, our projects have developed a network of artists across the world and are complemented with short and long-form documentaries.

Our biggest street art campaign to date, 'Education Is Not A Crime', spanned 40 murals around the world and was documented in our award-winning film 'Changing the world One Wall at a Time'. 

Paint the Change has joined forces with Hyuro to take part in Nuart 2019. We've long wanted to work with Hyuro, who, as an artist, represents everything we love about the power of street art to start difficult but important conversations.
