Art in passing
The goal of the “Art in Passing” project is to bring street art closer to blind and partially sighted people who are excluded from this visual expression.
Street art is considered the most free form of art that is accessible to everyone – precisely because it is located on the streets that we all pass by. However, although it belongs to everyone, not everyone can see and experience it.
The goal of this project is to prepare and install 3D models of the murals located in Belgrade. Through 3D models of murals, we want to bring street art closer to blind and partially sighted people who can feel the models and hear the story of street art through expert lectures. The murals were chosen based on the appearance that is suitable for 3D processing as well as on the basis of the size and availability of the location itself. Along with the 3D models, QR codes are placed that lead to a site with more information about the project. All this is accompanied by a series of lectures on street art.
The first models of the mural were installed in 2021 on the occasion of October 15, which has been celebrated all over the world since 1992 as the Day of the Blind and Visually Impaired.

Presentation of 3D models for the blind in Vienna
As part of the cooperation with the Zero Project Foundation, three mural models were installed in the very center of Vienna in the Karl-Farkas Park, and the models were also included in the first Austrian inclusive museum guide. The models were made for the murals that were painted as part of one of the biggest street art festivals "Calle Libre". Artists who painted the murals: Rodrigo Branco (Brazil), Ruin (Austria), Key Detail (USA) and Yu Baba (Belarus).
What our street looked like in 2023
The year 2023 was extremely productive and creative. With the support of numerous individuals and partners, this year our association continued to develop 3D model projects and VR exhibitions and launched new long-term projects, all with the aim of promoting street art and graffiti. Our desire is to show that a strong community, once naive enthusiasm and love for the field we deal with can overcome challenges and make progress that is extremely valuable.
We are participating in the Collab 4 HY Sustain CCI project

In Cacak, the first 3D model of a mural for the blind and visually impaired has been unveiled
Cacak – On the wall of the Association of the Blind and Visually Impaired in Cacak, a mural has been painted, accompanied by a 3D model with a description in Braille. The mural and model were created as part of the National Capital of Culture of Serbia 2023 – “Cacanska Rodna”, in a city that, thanks to the DUK festival, is one of the largest street art galleries in the country.
Our first 3D model in America
The idea to set up a 3D model in America also arose after the artist got acquainted with our project "Art in Passing" at the annual Zero Project conference in February 2023. On a panel at a conference at the United Nations in Vienna, Wales participated together with representatives of our organization in a discussion on the topic of inclusion in the field of street art and then became interested in the 3D model project.
