We start our walk at Krupnicza Street to see the magnificent work of Mariusz Waras M-City, one of the most important creators of this art trend. The work was created thanks to the initiative of the ArtBoom Visual Arts Festival organised by the Krakow Festival Office. Next, we move to the premises of the former Forum Hotel, which thanks to the activities of Forum Przestrzenie has become an important place on the map of Krakow's artistic activities. Here we will find a large gallery of street art works, including those by internationally renowned artists such as Sainer, Kofie and Nawer. Walking along the boulevards towards the heart of the Podgórze district, we come across a mural with dragons created by the pioneers of Polish street art: Tuse, Mehes and the Zooteka Agency.
At Piwna Street, it is worth stopping for a while in front of a work by Blu - one of the most outstanding artists of this trend in the world, invited to Krakow by ArtBoom. Then, at Józefińska and Krakusa streets, we admire the work alluding to Stanisław Lem's literature and experience a moment of anxiety in front of the Mayamural heralding the (fortunately unfortunate) end of the world.
We move on to Zabłocie, formerly a factory district. Unfortunately, the building of the former Miraculum cosmetics factory, on which we could see the striking Babylon Fabric mural created by Sepe and Nawer for several years, no longer exists. Fortunately, the walls of buildings in this atmospheric district are adorned with several other interesting works, including Mariusz Waras's latest mural M-City or Aleksandra Toborowicz and Michał Pałasz's Radiomural. Let's not forget Piotr Lutyski's realisation on the wall behind the Mocak Museum of Contemporary Art.
Across the bridge over the Vistula, we move to the Kazimierz district, which was home to the Jewish community for centuries. Here we find numerous works referring to this tradition by international artists such as Pil Peled or the Broken Fingaz group. It is also worth noting the mural painted by the Polish artist Pikaso on St Wawrzyńca Street.
The area around Plac Nowy is the perfect place for street art explorations. Artists who come to Krakow like to leave their work here, as exemplified by the small mural by David Shillinglaw and his friends on ul Nowa. We also have an interesting realisation at Józefa Street, where Piotr Janowczyk transferred images of important figures associated with Kazimierz onto the wall. Somewhat hidden in the passage at the corner of Kupa Street is an extremely interesting work by Nawer and the Monstfur group.
