BMAS, Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, has launched the campaign “Our country in work”. 10 murals in 10 cities across the country tell the story of a wide variety of people and their reasons for working. Since 25.9.2024 throughout the country – and – who would have thought it – in Essen too! Auftragsart, graffiti agency from Goch, used a total of 5 teams of artists from different regions of Germany and Europe to create the murals. In Essen 21-year-old Damian Strauß is shown, who is training to become a plant mechanic for pipe system technology at Berliner Wasserbetriebe.
In 2013 I started with a new hobby. In the beginning it was difficult to get reliable information how to find streetart in public space. In 2016, I had the idea of sharing my information with other street art enthusiasts and started my blog “Streetartwalks”. When I found out about this new street art community at the beginning of 2018, I was immediately on board.
