Motanki

The Motanki mural can be found at the entrance to a support centre for survivors of domestic violence. It features colourful, whimsical figures inspired by motanki — traditional Slavic folk dolls made by wrapping and tying fabric, traditionally associated with protection and good fortune. The mural was created as part of the Przytul Sztukę (“Embrace Art”) project, following a series of workshops with mothers and children living at the centre. Its imagery offers a powerful message of care, safety and hope, bringing a sense of warmth and reassurance to a place where people come to seek shelter and support.
