Brave Wall by Katerina Voronina

Keen readers may be surprised by the term “Brave Wall”, as URBAN NATION’s large-format murals are usually called ONE WALL. “Brave Walls” are murals dedicated to human rights defenders and are initiated and realized worldwide by Amnesty International in cooperation with the global street art community. Now, in a joint collaboration between us and Amnesty International, the first “Brave Wall” was created in Berlin, a work by artist Katerina Voronina, which honors human rights defender Marielle Franco.
