Iryna Kanishcheva was invited to take photos of the murals for this years festival.
“The city has a great creative vibe and a very positive atmosphere. St. Petersburg has been considered one of the best cities of arts since 2010, and the SHINE mural festival strengthens this position for many future years. Besides SHINE’s official mural tours, people are biking around murals during all the festival dates. Many “outside the project” artists create and showcase something on the streets as well. Strangers observe the progress of murals and admire of finished walls, its a great time.” Iryna Kanishcheva
