Gedichte aus der Spraydose – Poesie and Graffiti

Inspired by an idea that a group of artists from Rio de Janeiro came up with, Literaturwerkstatt invited more than 40 graffiti artists from Berlin, Rio and Barcelona to collaborate with poets from Berlin. The canvas was an old shopping center in Lichtenberg (alter Kaufhof at Anton-Saefkow-Platz). The building is a perfect urban gallery: It has an almost windowless wall that goes all around the building and the upper part of the building is wider than the lower part forming a roof that protected artists and visitors from the rain.
