RITAM GRADA RHYTHM OF THE CITY
VUČICA U KNEZ MILETINOJ
SHE WOLF AT KNEZ MILETINA 14
Rad jedne od najistaknutijih evrop- skih uličnih umetnica, španske autor- ke Juliete XLF, prepoznatljiv je po tome što u njemu centralno mesto zauzima- ju ženske figure. Osim heroina koje sa- me pokreću svoje avanture, njena ve- lika inspiracija je priroda, a poruka koju šalje kroz svoje radove je apel za nje- no očuvanje. Za Julietu je važan i lokal- ni kontekst. Snaga ženskog lika na nje- nom monumentalnom muralu u Knez Miletinoj 14 dodatno je potcrtana moti- vom vučice. Taj važan simbol u sloven- skoj mitologiji, kojim je prikazana žena u simbiotičkom odnosu, dodatno skre- će pažnju na to da snaga čoveka poti- če iz harmoničnog odnosa sa prirodom. Naposletku, srce koje Julietina devojči- ca drži upravo je sinonim za ljubav koja iz nje dolazi i podsećanje da voleti pri- rodu znači voleti čovečanstvo. The work of one of Europe’s most promi- nent street artists, Spanish author Julieta XLF, is recognisable due to the fact that female gures occupy its central posi- tion. Alongside the heroines who embark on their own adventures, she also draws great inspiration from nature, and the message she sends through her works is an appeal for nature’s preservation. A lo- cal context is also important to Julieta. The strength of the female character is further underscored on her monumental mural at Knez Miletina 14 with the motif of a she-wolf. This important symbol of Slavic mythology, which depicts a wom- an in a symbiotic relationship, draws fur- ther attention to the fact that a human’s strength comes from a harmonious re- lationship with nature. Lastly, the heart held by Julieta’s little girl is actually a syn- onym for the love that emanates from her and a reminder that loving nature means loving humanity.
