I found an article the other day on street art in the Polish town of Łódź, while doing a bit of work on my mother’s upcoming book about our family’s geneology. She’s been able to track one branch of the family, The Halborns, back to 18th Century Poland, and one of the towns they settled in was Łódź, a town that is still on the map. A random Google search uncovered this article, with photos of some of the street art found in that town. Really great stuff… here’s the link.
