SOUTH KOREA: Seoul – Itaewon District – Streetart, Characters & Portraits

Itaewon in the center of Seoul is considered a symbol of internationalism, openness, and cultural exchange. The district owes its special character to the closeby former US military base Yongsan, which was active until 2018. After the Korean War, the neighborhood attracted many American soldiers, diplomats, and business people, creating an unusually international environment. While other parts of Seoul remained strongly influenced by tradition, Itaewon opened up to the West early on with bars, secondhand stores, trendy cafes, and international restaurants. Accordingly, you’ll also find many urban artworks here, ranging from small to large and created by local artists as well as international visitors.

NORTH MACEDONIA: Streetart Skopje – Boulevard Ilinden Bridge – Goce Delchev Graffiti Space

On the west side of the bridge over the Vardar River from Goce Delchev Boulevard, the Ilinden Boulevard begins. Beneath this bridge and the surrounding walls on the riverbank is a great graffiti spot. It’s not exactly a legal wall, but most of the areas along the riverbanks have been tolerated as creative spaces for many years, where you can find countless graffiti. At this location here the walls are higher and easier to paint, also the bridge provides better protection from the sun and weather, which is why the works can be seen longer around. The pillars beneath the bridge are also covered in graffiti pieces as well.

GERMANY: Urban Art Wunstorf – B441 Hoch Bridge – Graffiti Hall of Fame – Underrated Gem Spot

This time we’re going to Wunstorf to a Hall of Fame that is hardly in the public eye and should not be underestimated. West of the Wunstorf train station, the span of the railway tracks to the west towards the city of Minden and to the northwest towards the city of Bremen is crossed by an elevated national road Hochstraße (B 441). Between these tracks and below this “urban planning fiasco” there is a small legal spray spot. This little insider tip often surprises with the finest pieces, which (at times) do not have to shy away from a quality comparison with those of the famous halls in the cities around.

FRANCE: Streetart Nice – Sticker Section – Creative Glue against Removal Collection

The urban space in Nice, especially in the center and along the beach promenade, is kept very conservatively clean and tidy for the tourist; there are hardly any of the small brighteners that are usually found in cities, such as paste-ups, stickers or stencils. But as is often the case, if you take a closer look, you can always find something. In the outer districts and suburbs it’s a different story, there’s more graffiti and therefore also more stickers. Check out the collection sorted by various categories.
