Some of them were returning the capital, some visiting for the first time, and in the week before the opening Copenhagen’s cityscape got ugpraged by six striking new murals by Maya Hayuk (US), Conor Harrington (UK), DALeast (China), Borondo (Spain), ROA (Belgium) and HuskMitNavn (DK). All the murals were painted in the Vesterbro area of Copenhagen, and the whole event was created in close cooperation with Øksnehallen, V1 Gallery, and the municipality in Copenhagen.
