Marcin Budzi\u0144ski\u2019s anti-smog mural in Gda\u0144sk\u2019s Siedlce district was inspired by the area\u2019s history. Created in 2023, it serves as a hallmark of the neighbourhood and the M\u0142yny Gda\u0144skie Allcon development on Jacek Malczewski Street.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Object: <\/strong>The mural is painted on a high, rectangular wall of a 19th-century tenement building, separated by a narrow street from the new M\u0142yny Gda\u0144skie development, completed in 2023. On one hand, it conceals the imperfections of the wall; on the other, it provides a compelling reference to the history of Gda\u0144sk\u2019s Siedlce district. The mural depicts a tree, a symbol of longevity, whose crown contains views connected to the area\u2019s unique history: a landscape showing a street and an old mill, and on the left, within a cluster of grapevines, a scene featuring a street accompanied by a basket of grapes. The mural also features colourful grapevines, apple trees bearing fruit, and a decorative inscription reading \u2018Siedlce\u2019. The composition\u2019s style is borrowed from 19th- and early 20th-century postcards. The image is painted in subdued tones that complement the surrounding area. It also references the district\u2019s historical past: vineyards on the hillsides, fruit orchards, and the old mill. In the 15th century, this area was home to a mill (Krzy\u017cowniki), with gullies cutting through the slopes of Suchanino, while vineyards and gardens were established on the valley\u2019s slopes.<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong> The mural, located near the M\u0142yny Gda\u0144skie development, was created in collaboration with the Siedlce District Council and the Wakeuptime studio. The artist aimed to enhance the area\u2019s aesthetics and showcase the district\u2019s unique history, which served as inspiration for the M\u0142yny Gda\u0144skie project. The mural reflects the neighbourhood\u2019s past and its garden-like character. In the 15th century, this area was a village; in 1772, Siedlce became part of the United City of Che\u0142m. It was originally inhabited by non-guild craftsmen and Mennonites, and later, in the 19th and 20th centuries, the district was famed for its affordable working-class housing. In 1652, records mention a tavern named Schlapkekrug in the area. Before the Second World War, Siedlce was a district full of gardens, including one owned by the Fahrenheit family. Many examples of wall paintings in Siedlce, including the presented mural, were created not only to beautify the district but also to invite residents on a journey through its history.<\/p>\n
