A mural of solidarity

Ukrainian youth and artists co-created a mural on Grunwaldzka in Kraków during the 2022 Ukraine response. The work brought shared creation into a context of displacement.

The creative process

Polish reporting documents the collaboration; international photojournalism records the completed mural and its presence in the city.

People & collaboration

Ukrainian youth, Benjamin Swatez, Azerine DeLuca, Mikołaj Rejs, Jagnagna and The Goodness Tour.

A continuing conversation

This project belongs to a wider practice of community-authored expression. Its relationship to Artegenesis is explored as part of Benjamin’s developing research, without assuming identical effects across communities.
