Text them home
A sidewalk in the city becomes a canvas where chalk outlines a makeshift living room, but the reality of the scene is far more poignant.
Ένα πεζοδρόμιο στην πόλη γίνεται καμβάς όπου η κιμωλία σκιαγραφεί ένα αυτοσχέδιο σαλόνι, αλλά η πραγματικότητα της σκηνής είναι πολύ πιο οδυνηρή.

Life at sea – by Djoels, in Basque Country
Djoels: A few months ago, I enrolled in a sort of selection round to be able to do a mural in the Basque Country. Out of the (more than) 400 applications, 2 artists were chosen: one artist from Gran Canaria and Djoels. We were given a 13-meter-high by 8-meter-wide wall to work on. For 5 days, we were given a tour, information, and the opportunity to get to know the town. It’s a harbor town surrounded by mountains, slightly bigger than Egem but with a similar mentality. Everyone knows everyone, and stories spread quickly. People take care of each other, and history is kept alive.
Gabriel, my model, a retired kind man with a characterful gaze, stood out to me the most. He spent his life at sea, months away from home catching fish. I heard thrilling stories, including those of women and children who stayed on the mainland, fearing whether their father would return safely. Now he makes miniature boats. A true artist!
Every day, I ate fish, learned how to clean and prepare fresh fish. I walked in the harbor and then in the mountains. I tasted the food they made on the boats when they were away from home for months, sometimes with only 3 ingredients. And yet, it was delicious!
For two weeks, I lived like most people here, adopting a sort of integrated intermittent fasting, taking siestas, and enjoying pintxos (local tapas). I quickly adapted to the lifestyle here, but I still miss my home, my dog, and my loved one immensely!
I think after reading this, the work speaks for itself. Now, I just need to enjoy Bilbao a little longer, and then I’ll head back home on Saturday, towards my steak with fries and the West Flemish language.

Nightingale the Ukraine’s national animal, by Shona Hardie...
... in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland
According to legend it once came to the country from India to cheer the people up with its singing. This one is holding a peace flag in its beak – as a sign of hope for the end of the war.
