These Stolpersteine were dedicated to: Heinrich Thieslauk (Warschauer Strasse 60); Robert Becker, Jenny Becker, Erna Becker and Erich Becker (Warschauer Strasse 61); Hans Litten and […]

I was excited because AliCé is one of my favourite Street Artists and disappointed because I knew I would only have a few days to find her work before flying to Cardiff […]
MTO is a French born-Berlin based Street Artist who produces incredible large-scale photorealistic pieces. Seeing his work on closed shop shutters makes getting up early to wander the streets of Kreuzberg worthwhile. This Spike LEE in Görlitzer Park is remarkably intact for its age. MTO painted a series of portraits of ‘Berlin Street Fighters’ – artists […]
Almost three weeks ago now, on his 66th birthday, David Bowie surprised everyone by releasing a new song – Where Are We Now? – a melancholy tune that reflects on his time living in Berlin in the 1970s. Following the new single’s release my social media feeds were abuzz with (mainly positive) reactions and Berlin […]
