1. What is Kinomural? What can I expect?
Kinomural is an innovative art event that transforms Wrocław’s Nadodrze district into a monumental open-air gallery. After dark, the courtyards, housing blocks, and tenement buildings become enormous projection surfaces — some over 300 square meters — for new media art.
You can expect to see a wide range of moving image murals, including video art, animation, and audiovisual installations. This includes not only digital animation, but also hand-drawn and painted animation, as well as works using virtual reality and 3D technology. It’s large-scale art at the very heart of the city.

2. What types of art are presented at Kinomural?
The event showcases various forms of audiovisual new media art, such as experimental animations, large-scale video art, and audiovisual installations — often site-specific and integrated into the urban space.
3. Whose works are presented at Kinomural?
Kinomural features works by both acclaimed artists from Poland and abroad, as well as emerging talents. We also run an international OPEN CALL. Over six editions, we’ve had the honor of showcasing works by renowned new media artists such as: Extraweg, Dirk Koy, Jon Noorlander, Yuge Zhou, Peter Burr, Sholim, Ryan D. Anderson, Yoshi Sodeoka, Thorsten Fleisch, Jamie Wolf, Kidmograph, and Jake Fried. Their work has been exhibited in major art galleries worldwide. Many of them have also created music videos for global stars, special effects for Hollywood films, and intros for series and commercials of the world’s biggest brands. The full lineup and artist profiles are available here.
4. When and how are the artists’ works presented at Kinomural?
In 2025, Kinomural will take place on September 19 and 20, from 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM.
The event takes place simultaneously on six building walls located in the Nadodrze district of Wrocław. Each wall features a unique artistic program. Works by artists from around the world are arranged into “sets” — curated sequences of several video pieces that form a complete, looping program, starting at a specific time.
The program on all walls starts and ends simultaneously according to the schedule. Each set typically repeats between 3 and 6 times over the course of the evening. To experience the full set of works on a given wall from beginning to end, make sure to arrive at the start time indicated in the program. That’s the best way to fully appreciate the narrative and curatorial vision.
5. Where exactly does Kinomural take place?
Kinomural is held in the Nadodrze district of Wrocław. The projections take place on building walls within local courtyards. Exact locations are listed here.
6. What’s the best way to get to the event?
Kinomural takes place in the heart of Wrocław and is easily accessible by public transport. The nearest tram and bus stops are Paulińska, Jedności Narodowej, and Dworzec Nadodrze. Streets leading directly to the projection walls will be closed to traffic during the event, and parking in the area may be limited — so we strongly encourage you to leave your car at home!
7. Is there an entry fee for Kinomural?
No — Kinomural is a free event. It’s art for everyone, displayed in public space and accessible to all.
8. Is there a specific order in which to view the projections?
No, there is no required order for viewing the projections. Each of the six walls tells a different chapter of our audiovisual story. You decide where to start and how to move between locations. Feel free to explore at your own pace — this is a space meant to let you immerse, get lost, and discover on your own terms.
9. Will there be food and drinks available during the event?
No dedicated food court is planned for the event. However, Kinomural takes place in a lively area full of local businesses. We encourage you to support nearby cafés, restaurants, and bars before or after the projections. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy something tasty and support the local community!
10. Will there be toilets available during the event?
Yes, there will be portable toilets available on site. Exact locations will be shown on the event map, which will be available soon. Printed maps will also be available from our volunteers at the event.
11. Will the projections go ahead in case of bad weather (e.g., rain)?
We’re prepared for most weather conditions — a little rain won’t stop us! Please check the forecast before you head out and dress appropriately. Of course, in the event of extreme weather (such as storms or heavy rain with strong winds), the event may be canceled or postponed. Any changes will be announced on our website and social media.
12. Is the event family-friendly?
Yes! Every year, the wall at Niemcewicza 27 is dedicated to children from 7:30 PM to around 8:30 PM, with a special program called “Dobranocka”. Details will be announced soon. We warmly invite parents and children of all ages — it’s a wonderful way to introduce young audiences to the world of new media art in a friendly and engaging format.
13. Is the event accessible for people with disabilities?
Kinomural takes place in an open urban environment, and we strive to choose locations that are as accessible as possible. However, we do not provide dedicated infrastructure such as ramps or seating. We recommend that visitors with disabilities review the event map and plan a route that suits their needs best. The event is outdoors and open to all, but please keep in mind the limitations of the local urban infrastructure.
