The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://This changes I did as an author of the mural.">project</a> "My Home" was started in 2022 by Belarusian, Georgian and Polish artists for the purpose of helping people forced into refuge and to support specific families. These people had to leave behind everything material, even the most valuable, what constitutes heritage, what holds history and is one of the basic components of culture. By stimulating debate, fostering compassion and a sense of community, we contribute to building a more conscious and sustainable society, which in future and present will be able to resist xenophobia and build solidarity in the fight for freedom and justice. Our project is taking form of a series of murals bringing together local artists and citizens, art activists and art audiences in different countries. The core of our project is to show the real history of emigrated family in local society environment that was forced to escape. Within the project we created a mural in Śrem (Poland) and Tbilisi (Georgia). Mural in Śrem depicts refugees from the war: a young mother carrying her child like her home in her arms, into an unknown future and with the hope for a better life. The background is made up of motifs of folk art.Mural was painted by Mark Maksimovich with Liza Kesauri and Jarosław Ptak.Check out more about the project: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wowwallstudio.pl/projekt">https://www.wowwallstudio.pl/projekt</a>

"My Home" (PL "Mój Dom")

The mural, created on the wall of a renovated tenement building on Kościuszki Street, was created by: Mark Maksimovich, Liza Kesauri and Jarosław Ptak. The mural depicts a bouquet of flowers and the people caring for it. The bouquet in the vase with the twigs symbolizes the abundance and beauty of the city, which grow and blossom thanks to diligence and dedication. The twigs refer to the city's name and the lake. The people symbolize its inhabitants. The vase depicts a knight sleeping under an oak tree – a reference to King Przemysł II, who died in Rogoźno on February 8, 1296. He was a ruler of the Piast dynasty, the last male representative of the Greater Poland line, and the Duke of Poznań, Greater Poland, and Kraków. The mural's other elements include figures at the bottom of the design: a snail, a butterfly, and a bee. The blue butterfly symbolizes abundance and happiness, while the bee symbolizes diligence and diligent work. On the left are two figures with a cart filled with walnuts, symbolizing wisdom and inner strength. On the right is a man riding a snail with a bridle. This animal symbolizes perseverance, purity, and protection. The man on the snail acts as a scout, maintaining contact with the "outside world," thus expanding and enriching the lives of those who remain at home—flower workers, the local and regional community, and residents. He welcomes all passersby and visitors to the town of Rogoźno.Check out publications about mural: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.eoborniki.pl/informacje/lokalne/19885-mural-wow-wall-studio-w-rogoznie-nowa-sztuka-na-ul-kosciuszki.html">https://www.eoborniki.pl/informacje/lokalne/19885-mural-wow-wall-studio-w-rogoznie-nowa-sztuka-na-ul-kosciuszki.html</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhiFhIV_MMg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhiFhIV_MMg</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RTTKd1yLCSc">https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RTTKd1yLCSc</a>

"The Dream of Przemysł II" (PL "Sen Przemysła II")

"Zamość Theatre Summer" mural was painted on the facade of the Zamość Cultural Center building at 13 Partyzantów Street by the street art group Wow Wall Studio, composed of Liza Kesauri, Mark Maksimovich, and Jarosław Ptak. The mural is an invitation to celebrate theater without barriers, weaving history and modernity into a single, constantly evolving image. When Jan Machulski opened the first Zamość Theatre Summer in 1976, he knew that Renaissance theatre must strike a chord with the emotions and convey a sense of joyful celebration. The mural is a visual narrative of precisely this energy, an artistic synthesis of the rich, over fifty-year history of the Zamość Theatre Summer – a festival that continues to shape the cultural landscape of Zamość. The composition alludes to the roots and unique identity of this event: the main graphic motif is a stylized acanthus leaf ornament. The choice of this ornament carries profound symbolism: acanthus, a key element of the Corinthian order, adorned the facades of the first ancient theatres, and in later eras adorned historic curtains and stages. Growing from the deep red background, the gold-green tendrils become a symbolic spine of the theatre's history. Acanthus, for centuries associated with permanence and art, envelops and connects figures from previous festival editions, who, woven into the ornament, create a gallery of memories and transform the mural into a dynamic chronicle of events. The entire composition is organized by a central figure: Jan Machulski, seated in a director's chair, which echoes the sculpture of the Zamość Theatre Summer in the Great Market Square, the Town Hall. This is a direct nod to the festival's founder: the entire surrounding ornament embodies his words about the Renaissance, emotional, and festive character of Zamość gatherings. This approach introduces an element of surrealism and playfulness, so well-known and beloved in street theater. The back of the chair also becomes a pillar, proudly displaying the festival's title, "Zamość Theatre Summer", in polish language - "Zamojskie Lato Teatralne". The chair, combined with the festival's name, symbolizes the openness of form: theater that reaches beyond the building's confines directly to the people.The mural was created based on an original cutout by Mark Maksimovich.Mural was painted by Mark Maksimovich with Liza Kesauri and Jarosław Ptak.
