🔴 UKW EDITION 2024 / MURAL

Mural No 19/2024 – Hood Nützenberg
"Paris his Aphrodite" by Spanish street art duo @pichiavo at Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse 340 for open-air museum @urbaner_kunstraum_wuppertal

📸 Achim Otto

This Spanish duo shapes the street art scene worldwide. Their walls fuse precise ancient statues with raw, dynamic graffiti energy. A perfect symbiosis! 💙💜💛

Behind this artwork lies a journey from Greek mythology straight into @bayerofficial success story – from a small dye factory to a global giant of modern medicine. 🎨✨

In 1863, Bayer revolutionized the textile world by synthetically producing vibrant dyes like fuchsine and aniline. Through PichiAvo, history and the present melt together on this facade: the artists' choice of colors subconsciously channels the historical DNA of the very soil they paint on.

Looking at the wall, you see the massive, glowing magenta-violet Aphrodite, whose beauty once sparked a war. And at the same time, you see the exact dye with which Bayer's history began over 160 years ago, eventually triggering a medical revolution! 🏙️🔬

This is where the circle closes: PichiAvo's world-famous color spectrum perfectly mirrors historical fuchsine – the very first dye that we know today as magenta. 🫗➡️💖

The mural "Paris his Aphrodite" is the ultimate visual bridge between history and modernity. The artists' signature style is simultaneously the origin of the local industry!

🔴 UKW EDITION 2024 / MOVIE

Mural No 15/2024 – Hood Loh
"Switch" by Swiss street art duo @nevercrew at Grönhoffstrasse 11 for openair museum @urbaner_kunstraum_wuppertal

📸 @collab.cologne

The globally renowned Swiss street art duo Nevercrew usually explores the delicate tension between humans, nature, and civilization in their work. In Wuppertal-Unterbarmen, they showcase a giant elephant floating in a glass music box directly above the famous suspension railway (Schwebebahn).

The unbelievable part: The artists knew absolutely nothing about the Wuppertal legend of Tuffi the elephant beforehand! They only realized it once they were on site in Wuppertal – the motif was a complete coincidence! And to top it off, there is a Hindu temple right behind the artwork, in whose culture the elephant – in the form of the figure Ganesha – is highly revered. So, Tuffi and Ganesha all in one!

For us, this is the perfect bridge to our conversation with the association for the blind: The glass dome separates the elephant from its environment and restricts its movement. This is the daily reality for visually impaired people: They navigate every single day within a glass dome that we cannot see, but whose barriers blind people have to overcome constantly.

🔴 UKW EDITION 2024/ HOODTALK

Hood LOH
"I see something you don't see!" — Right in the middle of our conversation workshop at the @bsverein_wuppertal.

We in a talk with four people with a wide variety of visual impairments, who told stories from their everyday lives and dealt with major questions in life.

People who burst with self-confidence and where there is absolutely no room for fear of contact: "We make the best jokes about blind people ourselves anyway!" 👁️‍🗨️✨

A conversation that showed that limitations are no obstacle to actively shaping your own life. This has deeply impressed us. 🇨🇭🐘🔮

BIG THX to Viola, Bernd, Erika, and Angela. It was a pleasure getting to know you and learning something about you. We love your sense of humor! ❤️

🔴 UKW EDITION 2024/ ARTIST

NEVERCREW (Luzern, Switzerland)
The international Swiss artist duo Nevercrew belongs to the most influential figures of the worldwide street art scene. 🌍✨

They combine masterful photorealism with precise, graphic structures. At the center of their work is almost always the sensitive, often disturbed relationship between man and nature.

They are famous for their monumental depictions of endangered animal species such as whales or polar bears, which they stage in surreal, seemingly artificial worlds to draw attention to climate change and environmental problems. 🐻‍❄️🐋

In Wuppertal they left behind the mural "Switch" in the Loh quarter. Typical for the duo, the work symbolizes the fragile balance between nature and city – the invisible "glass dome" that often separates us from reality or stands for the invisible obstacles in life.

"Street Art" stamp/ Nov 2024
The fifth special stamp in Deutsche Post's popular "Street Art" series features the mural "HEIMAT" (Homeland) by German street artist @case_maclaim (Frankfurt), located at Schlieperstr. 21. The stamp depicts one of the artist's favorite subjects: human hands in an overlapping position. It resulted from an encounter with the @glfoerdervereinwuppertal and is part of the @urbaner_kunstraum_wuppertal.

Viewed from top to bottom, the three overlapping hands form the sign for "Heimat" (homeland) in sign language. The mural draws attention to a topic that is often underrepresented in society and simultaneously promotes understanding among hearing people for deaf people.

FULL HOUSE AND LOTS OF ACTION ❤️

A very special throwback: On September 30, 2024, NRW Heimat Minister Ina Scharrenbach visited us at our StreetArt spot on Ronsdorfer Straße. Together with former City Director Matthias Nocke, we enjoyed this great moment.

The Belgian artist Iota painted live at the Barmenia parking garage. We had a short meeting with students and @ina_jeske from the @uni.wuppertal. The artist @frau.poeks hosted a graffiti workshop and the minister joined right in!

We had visitors from the neighborhood, workshop participants, and a huge press buzz. That made it an unforgettable day. BIG THX to everyone for that!

BIG THX goes to the @barmeniagothaer.wuppertal for their great support with parking, catering, and on-site accompaniment. 🍿

Another BIG THX goes to the @mhkbd_nrw. The Heimat funding and your trust made this fantastic project possible. For sure: Heimat connects people. It goes far beyond borders and goes right into the heart. Local identity creates a real feeling of belonging and a strong bond for everyone! 🌍❤️
