The Lennon Wall in Prague, Czech Republic, started during the 1980s as a tribute to John Lennon, and was inspired by the song Imagine. It became a symbol of peace and non-violent resistance to an authoritarian order. It was a political focus point for young Czechs rebelling against the communist regime.
The wall lives on even today as over the years, the Lennon Wall transformed into a graffiti-covered symbol of global ideals such as love and peace. Visitors are encouraged to contribute by painting or writing on the wall, creating a constantly evolving piece of art.
The spirit of the Lennon Walls has spread to a number of different countries and regions, both physically and digitally, as a form of expression and social resistance. These walls often serve as spaces for people to voice their thoughts and emotions.
