When the neighborhood becomes a work of art
In 2015, the first mural was created at Arpark Tegel. Since then, new ones have been added; others already disappeared. Client and initiator of the open-air art project is the "Stiftung Berliner Leben", which was founded by the housing association Gewobag. Together with the URBAN NATION Museum for Contemporary Art – they implemented the street art project ONE WALL in Tegel Süd.
The idea behind the project is to support the community with the painted murals, to strengthen the sense of connection to one's own neighbourhood. Most residents welcome the artists and their works. However, there is always a difference of opinion when art and public space collide. Just see for yourself!
