Painted buildings
In the past years in Berlin we have seen memorable graffiti artwork go up and some of the most significant come down. These works of art represent hints of the transformation the city is struggling to pass through. A part of this transformation is the influx of young artists moving to Berlin. It has come to the point where you no longer ask someone, “What do you do for a living,” but rather, “What is your art?” Maybe this is happening in every major city of the world, or maybe not, but the fact is there is an overwhelming number of artists living in Berlin today.
Since 2013 they have funded artists to paint murals on the façades of many of Berlin’s buildings all around the city. Many of these artworks have been a call on community, what Urban Nation calls, “integrative neighborhood projects.”
