Street art in Kyiv, Ukraine, began to emerge in the late 1990s and early 2000s, as a form of artistic expression and protest against the country’s political and social issues. Many of the early works were political or satirical in nature, and were often created in abandoned buildings and public spaces. In recent years, street art has become more mainstream and widely accepted in Kyiv, with local artists creating large-scale murals and installations throughout the city. Many of these works reflect the city’s cultural heritage and identity, while others address contemporary social and political issues. Street art has become an integral part of Kyiv’s urban landscape, and is celebrated as a form of artistic expression and cultural identity.
