South Korea / StreetartThe JAMAN MURAL VILLAGE is located on a hillside opposite the famous HANOK VILLAGE in Jeonju and was originally a modest residential area for lower-income families. Starting in the 2010s, the neighborhood was transformed through urban art and revitalization projects, with murals painted by local artists, students, and volunteers. This resulted in a wide variety of styles, ranging from traditional Korean themes to modern pop culture and interactive 3D artworks. The murals are constantly changing and some are repainted or replaced, making the village a dynamic and ever-evolving artistic space.

Architecture / GermanyThe photos of selected subway stations in Dortmund were taken a few years ago and the focus in these images was on the symmetrical arrangement of the underground architecture and on its geometric brutality. You can attest to an artistic concept in some stations – just like the spray can works, but it is a visual and mathematical contrast. No freestyle, but the architectural interpretation of the linear, cold functionality of buildings. Still they are charming and definitly interesting creations in urban space.

Cambodia / GastroIn fact, when discovering a country, you should of course immerse yourself in the local cuisine and homemade specialities and explore the unknown flavours. But we had been travelling in Asia for a while and hadn’t eaten real good bread for a long time. You rarely find this around, let alone a real pizza. It was all the more surprising to suddenly come across a cosy pizza bungalow on the beach at the farthest tip of the paradisiacal island of Koh Rong, where one of the most delicious Italian-style pizzas imaginable was baked.

France / StreetartOn the western foothills in Cantaron in the Nice region, there is an adventurous lost place that not only offers deserted scenery, but also countless graffiti. The Centre Hospitalier Régional at Route de la Lauvette 254 is a former rehabilitation center on the southern slopes of the Alpes Maritimes.

So the artists took over the place and you can find numerous graffiti, characters or abstracts.

Artisani / Music / South AfricaIf you are a journalist and you go into the jungle you can find the strangest things. For example other journalists. But sometimes these other journalists are more interesting than the jungle at the moment. Some kind of these meetings happened in Ciudad del Este in Paraguay near the Iguazu Waterfalls this spring. Coincidental at the same time when we stood there in a mansion there was as well the journalist, national-geographic writer and co-founder of The Grind Radio: Jade Wood from South Africa.

Artisani / Germany / MusicThe OhOhOhs have made a name for themselves over the years as a live acoustic techno duo in Frankfurt and beyond. Whether through rousing concerts and summer festivals, on dance demonstrations or at funky parties. The show they delivered on stage each time was definitly worth a visit. When observing these two hyperactive music-geniuses while getting crazy on their instruments during a live concert, it´s impossible not to dance along. The trademark of the artists has always been to fabricate the technoid electro sounds completely by hand. So you have to be fast.

Chile / StreetartThe Metropolitan Technological University (UTEM) is a higher education institution founded in 1993. At the time these photographs were taken some courses such as design and art were taught at this study headquarters, which is why the entire building was covered in streetart. Today it houses the university’s administrative units and, therefore, graffiti, stencils and tags are no longer seen on its walls. Still you can admire those great artworks in our archive!

Photographer Salvador Seda has visited this area several times and created various galleries and interesting story writings with information to the artists of the tags, bombings and graffiti at this spot.

Germany / StreetartThe Milchsackfabrik in the Gutleutviertel district traces its origins to the former printing ink factory of Dr. Carl Milchsack. The company produced printing inks on the site until it ceased operations in 1999. As early as the mid-1990s, Peter Peters, a grandson of the company’s founder, began renting out individual spaces to artists. Gradually, the former factory site evolved into a cultural hub featuring studios, theater, music, and events. Of course the whole area is covered with graffiti, characters and urban artworks.
