Strap in & Freak out – Backboard Jam the 3rd

I would like to draw your attention to an upcoming event on 26 August at the Port of Dortmund. This will certainly not be an ordinary event. MTW will celebrate its 25th birthday and will be supported by Krupplyn in the usual way. There will be a great programme for both graffiti and music lovers […]

Hafendampf 2023 – Please save the date

Yes! Finally, it’s that time again! The gong for the 11th round of Hafendampf will sound on 12 & 13 August in Dinastraße in Karnap. A horde of national and international graffiti artists will invade and take care of the hitherto drab, grey wall of the railway embankment so that the neighbourhood living there will […]

HoF Zollstraße – There’s life in the old dog yet

The golden times are over, I guess you could say. The construction machines have long since taken over, but HoF Zollstraße still has loyal friends who come by from time to time and bring new splendour. JETS SEB CANDY x JETS SEB PILZ & RADE more pictures -> click Location

A walk in the (West)park

Less than a kilometre from Bochum’s city centre is an extremely exciting park. The Westpark gets its name, of course, from its location west of the city centre. You’ll find a wild mix of industrial culture you can touch, nature and art; an impressive combination. Numerous paths, ramps and bridges criss-cross the park and there […]

Hot town, somewhere in the city

Yes, I admit it, I am enthusiastic about the work of SEILEISE. And because he rarely enough appears in my catchment area, I am more than willing to put up with further journeys. He is currently exhibiting his latest works in a group show at the von Fraunberg Gallery in Düsseldorf, so it was only […]

The 2023/24 theatre season can start

Access to the underground via staircase and escalator at the Theatre Bochum was blocked for about 14 days, as  Denis Klatt aka HIFI was busy creating a more pleasant environment for passers-by. Now motifs from the drama-productions of the house from the last years put theatre-goers arriving by public transport in the mood for what […]

Denis Klatt aka HIFI at Bermuda3eck

Just in time for Bochum Total, Denis Klatt aka HIFI has catapulted underground station Bermuda3eick / Musikforum from 70s style into the modern era. Bochum’s strategy for beautifying the cityscape is called „Hin und weg – Graffiti art instead of smearings“. Once out of the tram, you emerge to the surface, accompanied by whales, sharks, […]

Graffiti Tunnel Riemker Straße

The city of Bochum recently provided more brightness and beauty for the railway underpass on Riemker Straße with the help of graffiti, and so on 1 and 2 July a swarm of about 20 sprayers from Germany and the Netherlands invaded Riemker Straße in Hofstede to help the almost 90-metre-long tunnel become brighter and more […]

Jan Schoch aka EIKE & COSI for „WALLS OF VISION“

When I found the first two of a total of 4 supporting pillars of the A40 motorway on Weiglestraße scaffolded, I initially thought it was a continuation of the „Stützwerk Farbe“ project, until I finally learned that it was the „Walls of Vision“ project of the non-profit Dr. Hans Riegel Foundation. The idea is to […]
