The Meeting Point is an urban art piece, a part of the #wallsthatremember series. It is a graffiti based on two century-old pictures taken in the streets of Jewish Quarter of Vilnius. The piece has been created on the wall of the French embassy in Vilnius and became the fifth in a sequence of artworks dedicated to the memory of Lithuania's Jewish community.
Art project #wallsthatremember is a contemporary tribute to the historical memory of the Vilnius’ Jewish community. Prior to the horrors of World War II, Vilnius had one of the most active and largest Jewish communities in the region. During the Second World War, this community was nearly eradicated, which is definitely one of the most painful losses to Lithuania and Vilnius in particular. The project uses historical photos for basis of graffiti artworks, scattered all over the territory of the Jewish Quarter. It already became a tourist magnet. Seen by thousands of people already, Walls that Remember has been welcomed by the local Jewish community, diplomats and opinion-shapers.
