Set Yourself Free

In TKV|By Ljiljana Radošević|1 Minutes

This large piece of art by TKV was executed in the garden of a popular Belgrade café, Blaznavac. The piece that goes by the popular name ‘Set Yourself Free’ is a herald of the new cycle in her art. Going deep into oneself and finding out that you are the one that holds the power over your emotions and, hence, power to set yourself free, is a topic that has occupied her since this piece was made.

It was also one of the artworks that set in motion new inspiration that would result in an exhibition that took place at the French Institute in Belgrade in 2017. That, in turn, created a further chain reaction that led to her collaboration on several projects with the French Institute in Belgrade that subsequently brought her the title of Knight of Arts and Letters in 2019. This title and medal are awarded by the French government to artists as a recognition of their significant contributions to the arts and literature. But this is not the only title she has been awarded. She was also a UN Women’s Agent of Change in 2017.

Graffiti and street art are an unavoidable part of the urban environment. To imagine a city without graffiti would be the same as to imagine a city without cars. Graffiti is everywhere, exposed to views, weather conditions and emotions – and that makes it ephemeral. The goal of this project is to preserve and document Belgrade’s graffiti and street art.
