''Grow in Freedom'' mural

In a 2023 collaboration between the Ukrainian street artists Sestry Feldman and the Belgian illustrator Teresa Zdralevich, a mural entitled Grow in Freedom was created at the CHU Saint-Pierre Hospital. The mural, which was dedicated to the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, was painted on the wall of the hospital, which has provided financial aid to Ukrainian hospitals during the Russo-Ukrainian war.
