Another Large-Scale Mural Unveiled on Kozłówka Estate: “Butterfly Stop” Premieres Friday

A new large-scale botanical mural by artist Wojciech Rokosz, titled “Butterfly Stop,” will be officially presented to the public on Friday, August 21, at Spółdzielców 13 in Kraków.

Nature Meets Urban Living on Kozłówka Estate

A butterfly, flowers, and neighborhood gardens have been brought to the wall of an apartment building on the Kozłówka estate. Created by Wojciech Rokosz, the “Butterfly Stop” mural is the result of a collaboration between the Let’s Make Kraków Foundation, the artist, and the “Na Kozłówce” Housing Cooperative. The project draws direct inspiration from the flower gardens planted and tended by local residents right between the buildings.

The Let’s Make Kraków Foundation notes that these are spaces where nature meets human care, aesthetics, and everyday presence. The name “Butterfly Stop” references the natural theme of the composition and distinguishes it from Rokosz’s previous works, which frequently featured birds.

Official Premiere and Community Celebration

The official unveiling of the mural is scheduled for Friday, August 21, starting at 4:00 PM near the building at Spółdzielców 13. Wojciech Rokosz warmly invites locals to attend the opening of his latest work. In addition to the presentation, the event will feature activities for children prepared in cooperation with the Akukuu play center, with a tent set up to protect attendees from potential bad weather.

Kozłówka is familiar territory for Rokosz, who has previously painted several nature-inspired murals on local residential buildings. This ongoing series includes a 33-meter high wall on a neighboring block at Spółdzielców 11, where the artist blended decades-old memories with the specific local landscape through foundation backing and cooperative support.
