MONUMENTAL DISCUSSION - interviews with mural experts during a meeting in Kosice

In 2015 a "MEETING OF PUBLIC SPACE ART FESTIVAL ORGANISERS" took place in KOŠICE, SLOVAKIA. The reason for the meet up was to reflect about the contemporary situation of muralism in Europe, especially in the east. That's why the focos was on inviting organisers of Festivals from eastern european countries.
A lot of different points of view on muralism were discussed but the main topics were:

- Art as “make up” for buildings
