new rainbowin Zbawiciela Square

citywide project (#90)in the participatory budget in Warsaw

what is it about

Once upon a time, the Rainbow stood in Zbawiciela Square. Known throughout Poland and beyond. A symbol of Warsaw's openness, a sign that LGBT+ people are at home here.

Today it's missing.

our project

Let's build in Savior Square a New Rainbow. Indestructible. Durable.

Our project is an installation of six metal arches, painted in the colors of the rainbow — red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

It is a clear symbol that Warsaw is for everyone. A sign that will always remind LGBT+ people that they have the right to proudly be themselves.

The installation's design is the work of architect Marcin Osiecki, who handed over its rights to the city.

participatory budget

We have submitted our project for voting in Warsaw's participatory budget.

Voting runs from June 15 to June 30, 2023.

You too can vote. People of all ages, residing (not necessarily registered) in Warsaw can vote.

Do it now, don't wait. As a last resort — sign up for the newsletter, and follow us on Facebook so you don't forget about it.

It will not happen by itself. Throughout the voting period we will be on the streets of Warsaw, convincing people to vote. Do you have time to help us? Get involved!
