As part of the “Impact of climate change on women with disabilities” project, a mural was painted in Radoja Dakić Street, where the office of the NGO Mozaik is located, which advocates for an equal society and equal opportunities for all people. The project is supported by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) within the Gender Budgeting Monitoring Network II project.
The project aims to send a message of support to people with disabilities and increase society’s awareness of the importance of equality and togetherness. NGO Mozaik is the main initiator of ideas this time as well.
“So we decided to refine this space a bit, we chose bright, beautiful colors and nice messages and symbols. This is the second mural we are doing, and in 2024 we started all that avalanche. Like Frida Kahlo’s mural , we are sending a nice message that we are here and that we are visible. Ladies are the main driving force today and that is the point of the whole story,” said Blagoje Šturanović , director of NGO Mozaik.
Like Frida Kahlo’s mural on building 10, this one is also designed to enhance the space and send a nice message.
“On the artistic side, I am helping and I am part of the team working on this mural with Irena Rašović and Zdenko Tomanović , and Lara is also there to help us. The whole concept is related to the project itself and we wanted the entire mural to fit into the environment and look a little like that cubist style,” said academic painter Milena Krivokapić .
Advisor to the President of Nikšić Municipality, Vojin Striković , says that the problems of people with disabilities are always approached with special attention, and that such actions will become a practice, all in the spirit of the fact that Nikšić is the European Capital of Culture in 2030.
“As part of the urban culture festival that we are conducting as a municipality and is part of the Nikšić Capital of Culture 2030 application form, we can consider this as an introduction to the festival that will be held this year in different locations of the Municipality of Nikšić. With the engagement of artists from Nikšić and all of Montenegro, we will create murals and hopefully become a real open-air gallery,” said Striković.
The facades of buildings in our city, at least those that have been the target of vandals for decades, are getting a nice look more and more often, mostly thanks to art lovers who breathe new life into them through colorful drawings.
