Rain and hills – https://www.instagram.com/rain.and.hills/
Liberec rendered in minimalist line drawings. Simple strokes capture the city’s architecture, atmosphere and familiar places. The project combines a contemporary artistic approach with a love for Liberec, showing how just a few lines can tell a powerful story about a city.
Liberecgram – https://www.instagram.com/liberecgram
An unfiltered street-level view of Liberec, full of character. It captures the city’s corners, architecture, hills, concrete, nature and everyday moments that make up its rhythm. Each photograph is a small part of the story of a place where people, energy and the city’s atmosphere meet.
Free admission.
