"The Kids’ Guernica peace painting on a huge canvas is not exactly a mural but it might be called a movable mural. Murals are usually painted on walls, but a wall is a symbol of separation just like the Berlin Wall. However, the Kids’ Guernica movable murals, streaming in fresh air, indicate a metaphor of children’s wish to remove all separations between nations, races, religions, cultures and people."
