Street artists have demonstrated their discontent with Russia's invasion of a neighbor with murals, both in Ukraine and abroad. The most famous of these is Banksy. On a wall of what was once a kindergarten, he has sprayed the image of a child in a judo match overcoming a seemingly overwhelming opponent (an adult with some resemblance to the Russian leader). Although such works of street artist in Ukraine sometimes also show Putin, children are a common theme - often a girl with two stiff braids. In this essay, I present some of these works while considering the role of the child in them, seeking to understand the role of art in protest as an appropriation and reconfiguration of public space.
