2023 the Street Dreams Festival brought urban arts directly to the Essen Zollverein Nord station. This four-day urban art and hip-hop festival is organized by the Herne-based association Pottporus e.V. in close cooperation with PACT Zollverein. Renowned graffiti and street artists teamed up to completely redesign the walls of the typically drab train tunnel directly at the Zollverein Nord station.
