"Urn Art Gallery" is an unprecedented performative and social action that transformed an abandoned park in the YUGOK district of Kryvyi Rih into an unexpected space for artistic intervention. The park, long neglected and forgotten, was dotted with plain white trash bins—mute witnesses to decay. The artist reclaimed these objects, covering them with bold, socially charged imagery and inscriptions, turning them into canvases of critique and reflection.

What followed was an organic movement of engagement. The intervention caught public attention, drawing people to the park who began photographing, sharing, and discussing the newfound artistic space across social media. But the most remarkable outcome was the response from local authorities—the city took notice, and as a result, the park underwent long-overdue renovations.

This project is a testament to the power of art as a catalyst for change. Urn Art Gallery proves that art does not just exist in museums or elite circles—it can emerge in the most unexpected places, turning overlooked urban spaces into arenas for social dialogue and transformation. What was once abandoned became a site of renewal, showing that sometimes, all it takes is an act of creative defiance to make a real impact.
