Wright Festival Bochum – TERA1 & JAYB at Wilhelm Stumpf Straße 49

Carrier pigeons belong to the Ruhr area like mining towers, cinder hills and the kiosk next corner. „Racehorse of the man in the streets“ it is respectfully called and in our area they were the favorite pastime for miners.

One Thing is for sure – The Change

Eye catcher walls will not necessarily need to be big, they should be readily visible. Owners of such a wall sometimes have hard times.

For me this 3rd day of 40° Festival was a day filled with pure graffiti. A number of new writers came into play, who were able to spray at weekends only, as they had to work during the week. Those people who know me, know, that I still have my problems reading styles. This time […]
