More than 30 cities all of the world will joint up on the 9th of June to express their ideas and their art by a great street wall mural. Budapest will be part of the third edition of this global project, which is organized by LeCool Budapest and We Love Budapest.
On 9th June 32 cities around the world will join together for one purpose: to express their ideas freely. For one day, anonymous people will be the real protagonists of a very special exhibition. A street wall will become a makeshift outdoor gallery where all participants may exhibit their own works and observe the others.
To shape a thought, write a tale, draw, take photos, print a T-shirt… There are countless ways to externalize a feeling or a thought, and people need to express themselves more than ever. Through ‘Express yourself’, Wallpeople wants people to express their ideas and share them in a public area. In past editions of Wallpeople, walls around the world were filled with pictures. This time there will be free personal and genuine creations instead. The technique or the subject won’t matter, only they must be able to be placed on a wall with adhesive tape or Blu tack.
At the same time, the event provides an opportunity for anonymous artists and creators in the city to have a greater importance, and to give them the chance to interact personally among themselves. How to participate:
