About this experience
Dive into the colorful, controversial and fascinating world of graffiti on a graffiti tour through Mainz, Wiesbaden, Raunheim, Rüsselsheim or Darmstadt. In this hour, you'll discover the city from a completely new perspective — through the eyes of women writers, artists and activists. On the tour, you will learn what terms such as tags, styles, charries, chrome bombings, roll-ups or rooftops mean and where you can find them in urban spaces — from bridges to garage doors to soundproof walls.
In doing so, we address the question: What is legal graffiti art, what is contract work — and where does vandalism begin? You will gain exciting insights into the history of style writing, the development of the graffiti scene and the socio-political significance of Halls of Fame — legal spaces that are often more than just walls. With a live comparison of legal and illegal works directly on site, you will sharpen your eye for the differences and learn why graffiti is much more than just “doodling.”
This tour is not only art education, but also educational work — right in the middle of the cityscape.
