Today Ukraine is celebrating its 25th anniversary as an independent nation — in honour of the occasion, check out photographer Amos Chapple’s street art tour of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev.

Chapple spent five days in Kiev armed with a flashlight and tripod, capturing the many murals that have sprung up in the city since for Euromaidan protests in 2013–2014.
