Krakow Street Art

There is a lot of street art in Krakow, much of it is related to the Jewish identity particularly in Kazimierz (the jewish quarter). The artist Kuba uses street art as a symbol of regeneration of the city, his art work of Gene Kelly singing 'I'm Happy Again' relates to how the city is still recovering from the horrors of WW2.

However some murals take on a more educational tone such as this one displayed bellow which was created to encourage people to read more. Graphic designer Aleksandra Toborowicz created a mural to represent a book case which features many classic polish novels. Each book title is written in a different typeface to create a typographic collage, it was created using techniques such as stencils, free hand an calligraphy.

There is even a free street art tour available to book which is 2 hours 45 minutes long, it is designed to inform people of the stories behind each piece of graffiti and to make people appreciate it more.
