As a project of the Berlin Leben Foundation, URBAN NATION aims to make urban and street art visible and accessible to everyone through a variety of offerings. Participation and own creativity are asked for and strengthened in our educational formats.
Therefore URBAN NATION is more than a museum. With its diverse programming, URBAN NATION links indoor and outdoor space – museum and city – and promotes dialogue between art and neighborhood. The project Stadtraum!Plus of the Stiftung Berliner Leben facilitates the exchange between Berlin actors and URBAN NATION and creates a variety of educational opportunities.
URBAN NATION is a place of cultural education with workshops and other innovative educational formats. We are active in the museum, in the museum’s workshop and throughout the city – e.g. through participatory mural designs.
A defining feature of Gizem Erdem’s mural in the passageway at the Staaken Center in Berlin-Spandau is its open, fluid composition, in which figures, animals, plant elements, and symbolic forms come together to form a continuous visual whole. The painting unfolds horizontally along the architecture, thereby responding directly to the spatial context of the passageway.
With a second community mural by Jim Avignon in Falkenhagener Feld, Stadtraum!Plus continues its artistic exploration of social interaction in the neighborhood. The site-specific mural was created in collaboration with children from the neighborhood’s family housing complex.
As part of the Stadtraum!Plus program, a site-specific mural by artist Jim Avignon was created in Berlin’s Falkenhagener Feld neighborhood in collaboration with the Berliner Leben Foundation and Gewobag.
