More energy and color for Mefferdatisstrasse
Mefferdatisstrasse in Aachen has a bad reputation due to its proximity to the red light district. In the summer of 2023, I was able to inspire over 70 people to create a huge piece of street art together and bring new energy to the street.
Using liquid street chalk, we temporarily colored over 500 square meters of asphalt – together with many children, parents, grandmas, grandpas, the hairdresser across the street, the kiosk owner next door, the owner of the Greek snack bar on the corner and many passers-by who happened to be passing by and wanted to join in…
For one weekend, the street was closed to traffic and an open-air event space was created for a large neighborhood festival with a residents’ picnic, live music and dance performances.
It was a blast!
