Objective and relevance of the project
Murale is not only to commemorate Irina Zarutska, but also to pay attention to the systemic and social problems that contributed to her tragic death. Project initiators emphasise that the goal is to ensure that Iryna is not forgotten or ignored. Each mural will become the starting point for public safety talks and necessary systemic changes.
The image of Irina on the walls of cities is to build empathy and social awareness, while offering a space to reflect on the realities of refugee life and victims of violence.
Implementation and further plans
Organizers already cooperate with over 800 interested artists And they're looking for the best locations on the mural. Soon, applications will be opened for artists wishing to submit their projects. Each mural will be executed in accordance with the law in places with high visibility, which guarantees that the transmission will reach the widest possible audience.
