The mural “Irpin Is My Home” was created on the facade of one of the high-rise buildings located next to the Irpin Museum of History and Local Lore.
The idea of the mural is very relevant today, because it expresses a return home. About 95% of Irpin residents left the city after the start of the full-scale invasion, and now people are returning. The mural itself depicts a couple who travelled through many countries but decided to return to their native Irpin, and it is in the centre of the artistic composition.
Many people joined in creating this mural: representatives of the culture department, volunteers of the public organisation “Building Ukraine Together”, utility workers, representatives of the International Organization for Migration, the well-known writer Petro Shcherbyna and Irpin residents who wished to adorn their city with art. The mural was realised by the artist Uliana Kucheruk. The mural was unveiled as a gift to the city on the Day of the Hero City of Irpin.
Date of creation/opening: 2023
Address: Kyiv Oblast, Irpin, 4 Shevchenka St.
