Göttingen turns: Graffiti walk becomes an open-air gallery!
Göttingen, Deutschland - The city center of Göttingen turns into a lively backdrop full of color and creativity: on July 4, 2025, the highly expected Göttingen graffiti walk starts. This urban art project, which will run over a period of twelve weeks, ensures that the city becomes an open-air gallery. Already at the opening event on July 4th and 5th there is exciting hands-on activities for the citizens on the forecourt and the Jacobikirchhof: inside. So it is possible not only to admire the colorful works of art, but also to actively participate in the art scene - rediscover art in everyday life, this is the motto!
The project is started with the design of nine large overseas containers by talented regional artists: inside like Malte Orth, Dominic Kramer and Agatha Czarny. These containers are placed at eight distinctive locations in the city center, including the train station and the university's central campus. The accompanying program is supplemented by music, street food and additional hands-on activities, so that visitors are well entertained: inside. QR codes on the containers offer exciting insights into the works of art as well as information about the artists: inside and their motifs. [Meinegion365] (https://meineregion365.de/kultur- event/goettingen-wur-zur-open-air-galerie-303705) reports that this action is part of a larger initiative that pursues the goal of promoting dialogue and the в Göttingen community.artistic diversity and new perspectives
"Diversity, science, culture and student life" - these are just a few of the topics that are treated in this artistic series. The city of Göttingen not only relies on aesthetic enrichment, but also on creative use of public spaces. Mayor Petra Broistedt will be present at the start of the graffiti walk and the symbolic figure, the small mini-bandsel Ava, will also ensure a charming start.
The project is supported by Göttingen Marketing in cooperation with 14 partners: inside from business and society such as Sartorius AG and BG Göttingen, which together stand out for strengthening the city center as part of the "Resilient inner city" funding program. This also gives the hustle and bustle a long -term positive effect that goes far beyond the works of art. For more information about the event, which will also offer a digital graffiti map and flyer for individual tours, a visit to the Göttingen Tourism Website.
at a time when art is becoming increasingly important in public space, Göttingen could do justice to his role as a dynamic center for contemporary art with this innovative concept. Similar projects can currently also be observed in other cities, such as art-am-construction campaigns in Winterthur, which also aim to make public space interactively and appealing. According to City of Winterthur, such approaches are not only significant, but also promote the exchange and awareness of art in the urban environment.
whether to voting for the most popular work of art or when chalk paving-there is something for every age group. This will be an exciting time for Göttingen: The citizens: Inside, it is cordially invited to rediscover their city through the eyes of the artists: to rediscover inside and experience the cultural diversity up close!
