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.
As part of a cooperation with Kulturprojekte Berlin and the Berlin Wall Foundation, posters were designed at the URBAN NATION Museum on October 8 and 9, 2024 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989.
Thanks to the foundation Berliner Leben, the KinderKulturMonat was celebrated at the URBAN NATION Museum and the Satellite Gallery!
The URBAN NATION Museum presents an artistic program in public space that goes beyond the current exhibition LOVE LETTERS TO THE CITY.
Graffiti has always been more than just graffiti, colorful trains or painted walls. Like any subculture that emerges in social hotspots, it offers a place of retreat for those who need it. A safe space, a kind of parallel society that functions away from the imposed norms.

On October 7, 2023, the URBAN NATION Museum once again hosted KinderKulturMonat, this time with a stencil workshop for children aged 10 to 12, led by Imed Art. The workshop started with an interactive part as well as an introduction to stencils and how to use them for drawing, cutting, coloring and spraying.
Anyone passing by Sandstraße 64 is greeted by a cheerful and colorful forest. On September 27 and 28, 2023, around 20 children between the ages of 4 and 6, under the guidance of artists Oana Maria Pop and Zuzanna Odolczyk, created a tunnel wall that brightens the day of every passerby. Both artists, who hail from Romania and Poland, are currently living and working in Berlin for a year as fellows of the Fresh A.I.R. residency program #8.
The Berlin street artist Paula Marie has created a ONE WALL on the facade of an apartment building at Habermannzeile 1C in Charlottenburg-Nord. The painting is the result of a cooperation between the German Resistance Memorial Center, the Foundation Berliner Leben with the support of Gewobag.
KinderKulturMonat is here again, offering children and families a journey of discovery into the exciting world of art in Berlin. Every year in October, museums, art and music schools, theatres, galleries, dance schools and many more in all districts of Berlin open their doors to paint, discover, dance and make music.
