mural Thonik

A brand-new mural by Studio Thonik can be spotted in an industrial space of Gdynia’s shipyard on Kadłubowców Street. We strongly recommend taking a walk in this unappreciated area of the city.

At the beginning of the collaboration with the Dutch studio, we encouraged them to reference the shipyard and its history. We were delighted to discover that, instead of using one of the local ship or street names, they chose to approach the problem in an indirect manner by quoting a Nick Cave’s song titled “The ship song” in which the ship is a poetic metaphor.
