“You are in Our Memory”. Polish Murals as Memory Medium and a Popular Form of Patriotism
The article elaborates on issues of patriotic murals – a phenomenon with its own history, noticeable not only in Poland. From many such paintings, the author chooses those that are dedicated to members of the post-war, anticommunist underground, known today as the Cursed Soldiers. This kind of creativity can be associated with so called popular patriotism. Patriotic murals are examples of a form of collective memory and at the same time materialization of a medium, that contributes to reproduction of a specific version of the past.
