One word, one crew, one wall: In the URBAN NATION Museum’s new workshop, you’ll develop your own graffiti style and work together to design your Wall of Fame.

In early September 2026, a new Community Wall was created in the courtyard at Blasewitzer Ring 13/15 by artists Amber De Saeger from Belgium and Patrycja “Pi Pa” Piwosz from Poland. Both artists are part of the current cohort of the Fresh A.I.R. artist-in-residence program.

With “The Ice Cream Man,” Berlin-based artist Jim Avignon has created a new ONE WALL in Falkenhagener Feld. A colorful, surreal world unfolds on the facade at Kraepelinweg 3. At the center stands an oversized ice cream figure, surrounded by numerous human, animal, and hybrid characters that interact with one another and bring the entire facade to life.

In the summer of 2026, the Omabunker expanded its Community Wall on Frobenstraße, which had been created back in 2025. The focus is on the residents themselves. They help shape the public space and make their presence visible.

This year’s Long Night of Museums is themed “Crime in Berlin.” The URBAN NATION Museum for Urban Contemporary Art takes up the theme and invites visitors to reconsider common ideas of crime, rule-breaking, and social norms from the perspective of Urban Contemporary Art.

Starting in October 2026, we’ll be launching a new workshop. In Dejoe’s “Sketch Circle,” you’ll work alongside him and other artists from the graffiti scene to design letters, styles, and motifs. Step by step, you’ll receive tips and feedback from these artists and learn how to develop your own unique style from your initial sketches.

As part of Democracy Month in Berlin, the URBAN NATION Museum invites you to the “Tape for Democracy” workshop on September 6, 2026, to express your own ideas and perspectives through art. Using colored tape, participants will create unique works that showcase the many ways democracy can be conceived and lived.

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. The project was carried out in participatory collaboration with young people from the Outreach Club.
