Street Art: Graffiti and Murals of Astana

Discover Astana from a street art perspective — from Soviet mosaics created in 1972 to modern murals. A walk through the right bank of the capital featuring the history of global street art, portraits of prominent Kazakh figures and the city’s first mural.

What to Expect

You will discover Astana from a street art perspective, seeing both monumental images on buildings and smaller works by local artists. Immerse yourself in the history of global street art and learn how cave paintings gradually transformed into murals and graffiti, becoming a familiar part of the urban landscape.

During the walk, you will explore the street art of Astana’s right bank:
see the works of an unknown street artist nostalgic for the Soviet era
admire the 1972 Soviet mosaic — a true piece of urban heritage
discover a portrait of Saken Seifullin created in the neo-pointillism style
find the first mural created in the capital
“visit” an open-air gallery featuring reproductions of works by classic Kazakh painters, and much more!

You will learn how building walls become canvases for self-expression and how the city communicates with people through street art. Discover how artists convey their experiences and ideas through their works, and what each image represents. You will see that art exists not only in galleries and museums, but also in the streets around us.
