Hip- hop culture in the best form is
promoted in Łódź, the city of Poland.
4. Since 2000, the group of artist from
Łódź has been trying to prove that
hip- hop isn’t just a music style but it
is also the culture and art. In 2001
they painted a murale that shows a
boat with many symbols of that city,
for example Freedom Square with
the Kościuszko monument.
5. In 2001 that was the world’s
largest murale. Now it is the
biggest one in Europe. Over
2000 cans of spray were
used to create the painting
30 metres wide and 20
metres high.
8. The next success of the group
was the organization of the
festival Meeting of Styles
promoting legal graffiti, hip-
hop music and breakdance.
9. In one of the streets of Łódź they
opened the gallery, where people
could enjoy the views of the best
graffitis painters in the world.
During that festival the artists
painted over more than 2,5
thousand square metres of factory
hall.
Next year the festival moved to
Wrocław

The Outline Colour Festival has been
taking place in Łódź since 2009. It is

continuation of the festival Meeting of
Styles, but that festival is more
significant.
