Each summer for the past decade, artists have gathered in the village of Staro Zhelezare, Bulgaria, to create graffiti featuring world leaders and cultural icons.

The Staro Zhelezare art festival, founded by Ventsislav Piriankov, blends political messages with humor, as seen in a mural depicting a tomato hitting Donald Trump instead of a bullet. The 400 residents support the project, offering their walls for paintings. The village has gained international attention for its unique art.
