Workshop | Unread: Creating Urban Messages, Creative Activities | Led by: Istowski | URBAN ART AREA 6

The "Unread" workshop is a creative activity led by Istowski, dedicated to creating original messages in street art aesthetics. The starting point is the language of contemporary communication - drawing from social media and internet culture.

Participants work with pre-prepared stencils of letters, symbols, and emojis, designing their own messages, which they then transfer onto paper using stencil and spray paint techniques. The message can be a personal reflection, a commentary on reality, a slogan, a question, or a message directed at others. The workshop begins with a brief introduction to street art. The result is individual works combining text and image. Selected pieces may also be placed on a wall prepared by the organizers and become part of the urban landscape.

Duration: approximately 2 hours. The number of participants is limited. Children under 12 can participate under the supervision of a parent or guardian. Participation in Urban Art Academy entitles you to free entry to the Urban Art Area 6 exhibition. More information on the organizer's website.
