A uniting wall. Visited by millions of curious people every year in Prague, the Lennon Wall is coming to Paris! On Thursday October 20 and Friday 21, 2022, come and admire this symbol of pacific resistance in front of the Pantheon.

This is one of the five most visited places in Prague, Czech Republic. The Lennon Wall exceptionally comes to Paris for two days. On Thursday October 20, and Friday 21, 2022, the Lennon Wall comes to the Pantheon, in Paris 5th arrondissement. This is the occasion for Parisians and tourists to come and admire the new version of the famous Lennon Wall that grew into a symbol of pacific resistance and injustice everywhere in the world.

As part of the Czech Presidency of the EU Council, 27 artists from the European Union (including French Anaëlle Bouard) and two special guests from Ukraine (Viktoriia Savchuk) and Norway (Pippip Ferner) have been invited to create a mural themed on liberty and energy on the famous Lennon Wall in Prague. After a day’s work, the 29 artists created a large work of art of 35 x 5 meters.

This historic layer of the painting has been photographed and printed on an inflatable wall of the same size, unveiled for the first time this October 18, in front of the Palace of Europe in Strasbourg, then displayed on October 20 and 21, 2022, at Place du Panthéon, in Paris.

For two days, curious people and street art fans can come and admire the new look of the famous Lennon Wall in the French capital city, on an inflatable wall.

Behind this cultural project titled “Wall of Freedom and Energy / Lennon Wall Prague” stands Czech artist Pavel Šťastný. “This is a wall not dividing us but uniting us. When traveling across Europe, it displays a unique and common vision of artists about human liberty and the energy of art”, he says in a release published on October 16.

Each wall is dividing. Sole the wall dedicated to John Lennon unites. And this is why, although we fill it with the air of Prague, Brussels, Paris, the air of liberty, we will eventually make it disappear. Human relationships rely on the will of being together, wall-less. The Lennon Wall will stay in Prague as a symbol of liberty that would knock down all walls”, Czech Ambassador in Paris Michel Fleischmann says.
