Vienna street art during the pandemic

COVID-19 pandemic has changed the street art scene in Vienna, and the new graffiti has changed the city image of Vienna.

Usually, in warm weather, the Danube canal is surrounded by bustle. Located in the center of the city, the Danube tributary area is a popular leisure area with many stalls, bars and restaurants nearby. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the closure of the catering industry, and restrictions on going out also make the area very quiet.

On the wall beside the Danube canal, graffiti artists painted colorful pictures. These street art works of coronavirus reflects the current life scene, with the characters of the coronavirus, the pictures of viruses, the human machine that urges people to wash their hands, and an inspiring "Keep smiling". Let's see how long the graffiti and the outbreak will last.
