On Friday night, the member of the Seimas, president of the Human Rights Committee, shared a photo on his Facebook account showing the wall of the underground passage for the third time.
Both the photo shared by the parliamentarian and the words that are asked on the wall of the underground passage: “DO NOT COLOR OURS – WE ARE LITHUANIAN CHILDREN too!”
Delphi remember that the wall of the underground passage was decorated in the colors of the LGBT flag by artists Karolina Rimkutė and Linas Salučka.
The artists who painted the wall said that they understood that the rainbow would decorate it temporarily, they said that they were even waiting for the notes and drawings to complement it, and it would not matter if they were positive or negative. For this reason, we have chosen a public space for this campaign, we want a live dialogue, to go from a virtual quarantine space to a public one ”, this week. Delphi said K. Rimkutė.
The drawing on the wall did not require a permit; this underground passage is one of those where it is possible to draw legally. The list of places in Vilnius where graffiti can be drawn without permission can be found HERE. The artists who drew the rainbow, when they heard about the change, assured them that they were not too sad, because from the beginning they were anxiously waiting for this wall to live.
“It just came to our knowledge then. Everyone’s wall, everyone can draw: the tricolor is not an insult to anyone. But the time comes when these are not just patriots, but homophobes who are disguised as patriotism. A fun action that reveals the fears of some people. The mood did not diminish, you should not look at it pessimistically: I painted it painted. There is usually no dialogue on this subject, it is tried to silence it. But it is necessary not to be afraid, not to be silenced, to keep talking participate in creative initiatives, ”said K. Rimkutė.
