Event Description

This session goes beyond simple crafting, encouraging you to visually map the city through your personal experiences and the unique connections you’ve built with it. You get to translate your observations into tangible artwork, understanding the creative processes of the host artists involved.

This hands-on workshop offers an opportunity to learn directly from artists with over 20 years of experience. Participants will use a cutter to create their own stencil, explore composition and paper, and take home a finished artwork. Throughout the session, the artist will also share many insightful stories about their process, making it an engaging and enriching experience.

Various & Gould
Artists
The art duo Various & Gould has been an integral part of Berlin’s urban art scene for almost twenty years. The two artists are known for their posters, murals and public interventions. They deal with social issues and urbanity, and always see art as a societal contribution: “We participate and add something to the city”.

Various & Gould’s series of works are influenced by (political) poster art, Dada and activism. Their collages are often about challenging stereotypes and celebrating human diversity.

With large-scale and site-specific murals, the duo refers to the context and finds a painterly translation for paper and silkscreen aesthetics.
