What Does Lviv Smell Like is a social and artistic project inspired by emotions and feelings towards the city. It’s a cyclical event, and we invite everyone, no matter their age, place of residence, education, or social status, to take part in it.
An internet social event – www.citysmell.eu. Thanks to a simple internet platform, citizens and fans of Lviv can freely express their feelings, memories, and dreams connected with the city by answering the question “What does Lviv smell like?”.
A concert – the most interesting user-submitted comments on Lviv’s aura, gathered during a social event will serve as inspiration for an international group of improvization musicians and composers. They will compose a song which will début in Lviv on 14.11.2014.
During a several day-long period of workshops and rehearsals of artists invited to the project by the experimenter Piotr Damasiewicz, a work of art will be created – an impression of the emotions, dreams, and feelings of the citizens of Lviv, as well as of the city’s atmosphere.
The project-band will consist of:
The noble, universal language of art is a multidimensional platform with which artists desire to express the feeling of community, enriched by historical, cultural, and geographical heritage.

Let’s find out what Lviv smells like to all of us.
