We use a billboard – the symbol of the modern age consumption – and change it into an object of consideration, reflection and a deep insight into ourselves and the surrounding reality.

Mural SLOW DOWN/FREE

This year the artists concentrated on the issue of freedom that we can gain by slowing down the pace of our life. We invited the inhabitants of Włocławek, Bydgoszcz, Inowrocław, Toruń, Brodnica and Grrudziądz to co-create the mural (2.05 m high and 8.5 m wide). The participants painted the relaxing colouring picture prepared by the artists – the meadow – and filled the huge letters making up the word SLOW DOWN/FREE (zWOLNIj) with their answers to the question “When do you feel free?”. In each of the cities one letter was chosen. This resulted in a beautiful collective picture of our freedom. The multi-coloured words – the picture of individual answers that depict the community vision of our freedom on the multi-coloured meadow, characteristic to the landscape of our region. The place where we can find some time for ourselves, as well as peace and quiet where we can feel FREE (zWOLNIj).
