Scrawl Busters
We’re painting over a hate speech  with a “paint of silence”.

For many years, Polish cities had been devastating by scrawls, with vulgar messages or drawings and statements of hate.

Pogromcy Bazgrołów (Scrawl Busters) are facing the urban vandals called Obszczymurki (someone who urinates on the walls), barbarians who leave daubs, swastikas, racist and anti-semitic graffiti on the facades of the houses of Krakow. They’re painting over then statements of hate with a “paint of silence”.
Pogromcy Bazgrołów (Scrawl Busters) is an informal coalition of people of good will: neighbors, artists, and officials and employees of municipal institutions.
Our main goal is to reduce the dangerous and harmful phenomenon of the devastation of public space by urban vandals,
We want to achieve this goal by establishing a “social fashion” for responsibility for the appearance of  our nearest neighborhood.

The most important part of this project is arranging a neighborhood picnics during which neighbors paint over the walls of buildings destroyed by vandals.

Pogromcy Bazgrołów (Scrawl Busters)  invites the cooperation of volunteers, youth organizations, housing associations, property managers, schools etc. They also cooperate with artists and students of  the art faculty, during creating of murals.

We also organize a paint-raisers. All these paints are used as a “bandage” for the elevations “wounded” by spray.
Pogromcy Bazgrołów strives for legislative changes in the law enforcement and punishment of perpetrators of urban vandalism. For this reason they invited Polish politicians  to build alliances to complement and consolidate the provisions of the law, which will allow for a more effective fight with the phenomenon of urban devastation.
Our actions and events are observed and supported by local and national media as well. Pogromcy Bazgrołów received a statuette in the category of ” Patriotycznie zakręceni.” (Crazy in patriotism) from the group Polskapress.
Pogromcy Bazgrołów enjoys a growing interest in their events and huge support of the community of Kraków.
