Cities are more than concrete and asphalt, they pulsate with stories, dreams and emotions. The new exhibition at URBAN NATION, curated by Michelle Houston, is a tribute to the city and an invitation to explore our urban living spaces with a new perspective. LOVE LETTERS TO THE CITY features works by over fifty international and Berlin-based street artists who utilize the transformative potential of art in public spaces.
Issues such as urbanization, gentrification, environmental degradation and social inequality call for a critical discourse that aims to influence the development of society in a positive sense. How does art change the way we view public space? What changes can art initiate in the city? What methods do artists use to achieve a corresponding effect?
