On the September 7th ceremony of the official opening of the mural took place in Rzeszów. Special guests were Polish Ombudsman for Children – Marek Michalak and daughter of Irena Sendler – Janina Zgrzembska. Event was a part of the ongoing “Year of Irena Sendler”.
After the ceremony, the screening of the documentary movie Historia Ireny Sendlerowej (History of Irena Sendler) took place. A cinema was crowded with young people who had an opportunity to talk with Andrzej Wolf – the director of this movie.
The mural is a form of remembrance which results from belief, that we should talk about history and its heroes in multiple ways, using different forms of transmission targeting as broad audience as possible. Transmission, that is not limited to the area of the museum, but which is extended, adapting means of expression to specific places and circumstances.
Mateusz Kołek was an author of the graphic design painted on the wall of the building on the Króla Kazimierza 18a street by Kamil Kuzko.
