BEYOND GRAFFITI-Project, Heilbronn

BEYOND GRAFFITI presents 15 international positions from the post-graffiti movement as well as painting, photography, design and illustration, with works that relate directly or indirectly to the cultural phenomenon of graffiti, shown in the Scheddachsaal.

Alongside the exhibition, several of the artists will create large-scale murals in Heilbronn’s city centre. A supporting programme is also planned, including a blackbook exhibition, graffiti workshops, a party, and art outreach formats such as mural walks and an artist talk.
