The great festival URBAN NATURE in Hannover began in 2018, emerging from an initiative by the city and the local graffiti network to create more legal spaces for urban art. A large open wall area at the IHME HALL near Spinnereibrücke became the festival’s central location, quickly turning into a key meeting point for the graffiti and streetart community every summer. International artists, local writers, and guests from partner cities transformed the walls year after year, accompanied by workshops, jams, music, and community exchange. It developed into an open, non-commercial cultural event with a strong creative identity and growing recognition.

Since many years in Bergen stencil art has established itself as a distinct form among the many urban artworks. Artists use stencils to quickly apply detailed motifs to house walls and fences, often with socially critical or humorous messages. Among those who have become well-known are the Norwegian artists DOLK, VLEK and AFK, whose works are partly political, partly playful, and have a lasting impact on the cityscape. There are works by many other artists, especially in central districts such as Nordnes and Sandviken, but also in hidden alleys off the beaten track.

The FABRIK 23 is a former factory over 100 years old, hidden in a typical Berlin backyard, an authentic, not „over-renovated“ industrial ambience that cannot even be found in this form in the city. When the factory building with an area size of 16.500 qm was bought some years ago by a billionaire from New York who was interested in art, it was partly empty. Meanwhile, the factory has turned into a place that was even featured in the New York Times. A place where businesses, craftsmen, artists and creative companies find a home. And of course Graffiti and Streetart! Check out the artworks in the huge archive.
