“Despite the fact that our campaign is called ‘Touch with hands!’, we were not able to gently ‘touch’ urban sculptures. Since you will not see it in the city, then take a look at it at least here.
We sincerely hope that someday, with the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the London Eye in London, our library and the Palace of Republic will turn pink, and the women will take part in the event Pink October and will wear pink wigs.”
The campaign was to be held on October 15 near Kamarouski Market, which houses the sculpture ‘Seed seller’, and in the Mikhailauski park near the railway station, next to the ‘Stranger’.
The Minsk City Executive Committee noted that they support the event of the World Day against Breast Cancer, but cannot agree to the statues being groped this way.
