Amateur murals and the visual chaos of contemporary Kyiv

Abstract

The paper examines the challenges arising within the context of street art in Kyiv, focusing on its uneven development, lack of deep interaction with the urban environment, and apparent lack of professionalism in certain creative processes. The study proposes avenues for improvement, emphasizing the enhancement of artistic skills, fostering active collaboration between artists and the local community, and establishing clear standards. The author sees street art as a vital mechanism for expressing urban identity and preserving cultural heritage, stressing the need for unified terminology and a theoretical framework to achieve higher standards in this field.
