Joachim

<div>Mala Zimetbaum was a Jewess who lived in Antwerp. In July 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau.<br>During her imprisonment she stood out as a heroic woman who helped her fellow prisoners and saved many from the gas chambers.<br>In June 1944 she and Polish political prisoner Edek Galiński escaped from the concentration camp, but a few weeks later she was arrested again.<br>Although she was tortured, she never revealed the names of the other prisoners who had helped her with the escape.<br>Mala and Edek were sentenced to death not much later.<br>Edek was able to commit suicide before the execution, but Mala was publicly executed in front of all other prisoners. This was to set an example, hoping to curb the increasing number of escape attempts.<br>She left a big impression on many prisoners and her story is still told today!<br><br></div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/joachimstreetart/photos/a.2009158129318591/2555352358032496/?type=3&amp;eid=ARDbBTWlYTlWPlPv_R5NqfjWWrxJ5541jfhIfbEYu42_s_1JBlHtTW2n8Jzrx_2-bDNzxyiCJHP-p-8O&amp;__xts__[0]=68.ARC_n0U43iN_WEsBorl2vJYZbymxvZvWBlqSC4OSw_9VXzcSuglaAd3Kk4GZU2Yk6G_rOUoF2t-y5_jgo9lC9tMN4Fp7ivexu50l8BfY3LeuXWulUtN-cUzO5Z7gb97GBuTFf0SHC8hynDV7PkA6dgFvFHfr7W9eCS_kmimFjyt_L4tueHGj9nxH2KZvJ__9exB-s9rf2rfCE46iv5BOQEVWz-1teOxo7L1V1VMLANwd9ZTKX5tIQExkPQGUM6DOc07snDdSpl2PLelQTjhzt2gyVSsfdQ2tEfy_Q5Sc5Or1g4Ea2payKGgUdXYb2SaSkSDlDuIqWr6JzzZeicd4mDc7J79m&amp;__tn__=EEHH-R"><br></a><br></div>

<div>In 2015 streetart reached mondain Brasschaat for the first time. The first ever wall was a big one! 5 different artist put some color on a side wall of a house at the parking lot of a local supermarket. During 5 days and nights they work on this mural. Although the locals were pretty excited and the owner of the house asked permission, the mural almost had to be removed cause local authorities of Brasschaat didn't think it was approriate. But public opinion won.<br><br>(Oktober 2015)</div>

<div>A local knew about Joachim's plans for a new street art project in a nearby district, the people of the street took the right in their own hands and contacted Joachim en convinced the owner of the wall to give permission.<br>During 2 days Joachim painted this amazing wall in a dead end street where a lot of children play.<br>The mural is a gift for all the children of the street and a tribute for the imagination that children posses, the message is clear: if you can imagine something and you work hard, your dreams can come true! Never stop dreaming.<br><br>april 2018</div>

<div>After Lier Nils came to Belgium for a wall, we've asked him if he would be interested in doing a wall in Antwerp.<br>His answer was obvious, so we got him this beauty, hooked him up with Joachim and the final result after 2 days work was stunnin'<br>This would become a prelude of more murals in Merksem<br><br></div>

<div>In the wake of several works in autumn 2015, Joachim and K.Shit were allowed to blow off some steam on some building panels at "Klapdorp". Here once stood a building full of colorful works and if you take a look behind the fence of this construction site, you can still spot some old pieces.<br>Joachim painted his typical characters, while K.Shit provided the 3D background.<br><br></div>

Love is the devil

<div>In the lobby of Berchem Station Joachim was asked to color a wall.<br>He designed this colorfull mural of his typical poppy character wich welcomes everybody in the lobby.<br><br>(October 2015)</div>

Welcome Wall

<div>Believe it or not, but actually there are 2 art works here. You cannot miss the love spreading mural by Joachim. But the little holes in the wall are also an art work, by the artist Michel François. With these holes he makes you think about borders, walls and the limits they create. Doesn't matter what you like most, just enjoy the view and the sweet walk at the waterside.<br>By the way, Joachim first had another idea for this wall, but changed his mind last minute. Great idea, because this is a superb mural.<br><br>A project by: Stad Gent, dienst Cultuur for Sorry Not Sorry</div>

From Ghent with love

<div>The city of Antwerp commissioned local street artist Joachim to paint two walls located in the Diamond district. The theme suggested to Joachim for the murals was of course Diamonds, however the more Joachim read up on Diamonds he felt he wanted to explore other directions.<br><em>“I decided to paint two animals inspired by cave drawings, essentially the first art made by humans! ​​One of the mediums used for ancient cave drawings was charcoal, which consists of carbon. Diamonds, put simply, is carbon that is put under enormous heat and pressure and goes through a process over millions of years, until it becomes a sparkling diamond… so you could say that primitive people used diamonds to make their drawings! this way the link with the diamond is still there.” <br></em>Joachim wanted the Antwerp project to involve the local community and turn his art commission into a social project involving the neighbourhood.<br><em>“I came up with the idea of ​​inviting children from two local schools, one of which was a Jewish school as the murals were in the Jewish community. I asked them to colour in the animals with their handprints, just as the primeval people often used their hands to make drawings, so that way everything came together.” <br>“Also in Antwerp we have a local special cookie, in the shape of a hand. It’s very famous and is dubbed ‘the Antwerp hand’, it just so happens that it was a Jewish baker who invented that cookie! So because the murals are located in the middle of the Jewish quarter, I feel that this was a nice coincidence.”<br>Source: </em><a href="https://www.graffitistreet.com/street-artist-joachim-finds-himself-in-the-diamond-quarter-antwerp-2019/"><em>Graffitistreet</em></a></div>

Mickey Mouse

<div>Tongeren is the oldest city of Belgium and mostly known for Ambiorix. Antwerp artist introduced street art with a giant wall on the outside of primary school ' t Atheneeke'.&nbsp;<br>The students were allowed to brainstorm for the artwork: "The students have been asked what school reminds them of," says principal Chris Vandormael. "The answers were very varied: studying, for some, school means getting up early, but also great friendships and feeling good in class."<br>The young street art artist Joachim put the ideas of the students in a sketch. "Pictured, you see a figure that literally absorbs knowledge," says Joachim. “The liquid in the cup from which he drinks represents that knowledge. In his open brain pan, the brain has given way to light bulbs that symbolize ideas. ”</div>

Knowledge

Anastasia

<div>For the 2nd edition of Walls of BoHo district did an open&nbsp; call for all creatives to send in their design and 14 year old Anastasia Tsiqaridze won. She worked together with curator Joachim to paint her design.<br><br>Anastasia got inspired by Japanese Manga. It is striking that she deliberately chose to present the figure without a face, so that all emotional characteristics disappear and it becomes unclear to the viewer who or what it is about. The sober line drawing is both man and woman, happy and melancholic. Strong yet vulnerable.<br>In short, open to interpretation and therefore perfectly in line with this year's theme: 'Diversity'.<br><br></div>

<div>A older artwork by 'Joachim' painted on the side wall of a small factory of sports clothing .</div>

<div>Joachim once launched an open call for a mural which would be created for a TV-show. The school responded positively but he had alreday found one.<br>They never gave up and kept asking the artist for some cool art. Joachim then decided to do it on his own.<br>He painted a swordfish because that was an appropriate fit for this shape of wall. But it's also a perfectly reflects the school's vision:&nbsp;<br>"We want to teach the children to think beyond what they would expect. In this case, that artworks can not only be found in museums, but also on the streets, and even on the facade of their cool school" says one of the teachers.<br>And who doesn't agree on that....</div>
