Mural Arts Philadelphia on Thursday unveiled two new works of art, "Petrykivka Garden" and "Cities of the War," created through a collaboration with the European Institute of Public Health Policy in Ukraine.

The murals were developed in partnership with the Mural Arts Institute, the Health Federation of Philadelphia and the Porch Light department's Color Me Back program, and reflect the power of art in healing and storytelling during times of conflict.

The exchange took place over 2023 and 2024, featuring two visits to Philadelphia, online co-learning sessions and collaborative painting engagements. These experiences sparked a profound dialogue about the importance of art in creating spaces of belonging, healing and reflection.
