Even before the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, its western side was covered in provocative paintings and murals. A few months later, one of the only sections of the wall still standing became a 1.3km-long gallery, perhaps the biggest urban art project in history. Street art in Berlin is stenciled on its soul; it’s not just about self-expression, it’s about freedom, hope and memory. This is a hands-on, immersive experience in a city where urban art lives and breathes.
On this 4 hour workshop / walking tour through Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain & Mitte districts we discover over 50 of Berlin's most famous and most recent Murals, walls, street art, graffiti pieces. A detailed explanation of the many different local and international artists, genres, styles and origins of the different scenes is presented on this colourful and inspiring walk.
From Stencils to paste-ups, tagging, throw-ups, , burners, pieces, murals and installations. Wildstyle, wicked style, trains, crews, top to bottom! Learn all about it on this amazing experience.
