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.
The wall painting of the Neue Steinmetzstraße daycare centre in Schöneberg-Nord is a funded project of the Stadtraum!Plus programme of the Berliner Life Foundation in cooperation with the KinderKünsteZentrum for the “Kunst im Kiez!” programme. The participatory artistic design of the kindergarten’s exterior walls was led by Japanese artist Kiyono Saito.
