On the Wall in Lympia: Who Holds the Key?
A new mural by Twenty Three at the Lympia Cultural Centre, completed in front of the community on 10 October 2026.
A key opens a space. What makes us feel we belong? A new mural by Twenty Three took shape at the Lympia Cultural Centre, and while the artist worked, ABR invited everyone to an open conversation about the spaces that bring us together, how culture can be accessible to everyone, and what we can create together.
The artwork explores access, security, the ability to stay, and loss. It leaves open questions about our relationship with a space, and whether we feel we can truly remain there.
Who holds the key?
Twenty Three’s mural leaves room for different interpretations: from housing, ownership and security to the changes between generations and life in the city or the village.
At the same time, the key becomes a way to think about access to culture. Which spaces are truly open to everyone? Who feels they belong in them? And what can we change together?
WHO HOLDS THE KEY? AND WHO GETS ACCESS?
A conversation open to everyone
Young people, residents and people involved in culture shared experiences, exchanged ideas and imagined activities they could develop together: what encourages us to take part, what barriers we encounter, and what we would like to see happening in a cultural space.
You did not need to be involved in culture to take part, and everyone was welcome to come, watch the mural take shape, listen and share their thoughts. The youngest visitors coloured in their own versions of the wall.
