The city has always served as a fascinating backdrop for artistic creation. Public spaces, particularly those in Olomouc, have become fertile ground for the works of the most prominent artists of their time. The baroque fountains of Olomouc are still a tangible testament to this legacy—their unique craftsmanship and ingenious integration into the city’s structure exemplify the harmonious fusion of art and environment. Another significant era of artistic flourishing in urban spaces emerged in the early 20th century, this time with monumental statues commemorating historical figures. A striking example is the statue of T. G. Masaryk on Žižkov Square, which has become a symbol not only of a specific era but also of the ideals that continue to resonate within the collective consciousness of society.
It is precisely these artistic achievements, which give Olomouc its distinctive character and unmistakable cultural identity, that form the central theme of the SAFE Olomouc 2025 festival. This festival, which has long been dedicated to fostering a dialogue between the city, art, and its inhabitants, will focus this year on reflecting upon and reinterpreting both contemporary and historical artistic interventions that have shaped the city’s face.
High-quality art in public spaces should always respect and enrich its surroundings, becoming an organic part of the environment. Unfortunately, in recent years, we have increasingly witnessed artistic works that neglect this principle—disrupting the harmony of their setting instead of complementing it. This trend has inspired us to dedicate the 18th edition of the Olomouc Street Art Festival to a critical reflection on existing and even lost artistic interventions in Olomouc’s public spaces. Through this festival program, we aim to spark a discussion about what public spaces should look like—spaces that are not only aesthetically valuable but also meaningfully integrated into the life of the city and its inhabitants.
