| Berlin Street Art |
Berlin’s street art, which began as an expression of youthful protest, has become an established art form.
Many internationally known artists have left their mark on the streets of Berlin.
The art was initially confined to the fire walls on vacant plots between buildings, and which were a part of the cityscape after the destruction of Berlin in the Second World War.
Today large housing cooperatives cooperate with street artists create giant murals on the facades of their buildings.
Various initiatives are also campaigning for more legal spaces for artists and sprayers including the URBAN NATION Museum for Contemporary Art.
A walk along Bülowstraße offers an open-air gallery of the street art scene.
