These buildings are the only possible place that provides people with a home, a refuge and safety for themselves and their children. But it’s even harder to get rid of the stigma when you live in such a place.

Street Artist Chemis

By Chemis in Plzen, Czech Republic for Wallz Festival DEPO2015.

Chemis: This painting is inspired by the history of the house in Jateční Street in Pilsen, which was used for housing low-income families and was notoriously known as the Romani ghetto. These socially excluded areas are like a vicious circle, which seems to be a difficult challenge for politicians and local residents.

Often, these buildings are the only possible place that provides people with a home, a refuge and safety for themselves and their children. But it’s even harder to get rid of the stigma when you live in such a place. Made at Wallz Festival.
