What does an exhibition inspire – and what images and thoughts emerge from it? In the Resonance Lab of The Urban Skin, visitors can record their responses on postcards: written, drawn, or freely designed. A total of 197 cards have […]
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 his new ONE WALL, Berlin-based artist Dima Korma is making a statement about the culture of remembrance in public spaces. On the facade of an apartment building in the Paul-Hertz-Siedlung in Charlottenburg-Nord, Korma combines historical documents and a portrait of resistance fighter Bernhard Lichtenberg with a contemporary visual language.
For his Community Wall in Falkenhagener Feld, Sinan Dur explored the theme of neighborhood. At the center of the mural is a young woman wearing distinctive sunglasses, surrounded by a vibrantly colored urban scene that captures the character of the neighborhood: typical buildings from the large housing complex and urban spaces with trees. Terms such as “neighborhood,” “my hood,” and “respect” link the motif to central concepts of coexistence and belonging.
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.

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.
