Many people know it as street art, and that’s part of the story, though not all of it. Urban artists work in studios, exhibit in galleries and show their work in museums. For them, though, the street is not a side stage. It is an essential part of their artistic concept. Their work goes where everyone can see it, free and accessible, no ticket required. It’s about democratizing art, shaping the urban environment and inviting everyone to take part in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you’ll see\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn a 2-hour walk through Friedrichstadt and Bilk, you’ll discover works by:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexis “Bust” Stephens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARDIF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinDAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMADC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarald Naegeli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL.E.T.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarbfieber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKIO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e…and many more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAlong the way, keep your eyes open for PDOT’s iconic ghosts, plus sticker art and paste-ups by local and international artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStories behind the walls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWho made this, and why here?
