Walking between Hackescher Markt and Alexanderplatz this afternoon I came across some new paste-ups by Berlin-based street artist, El Bocho. El Bocho has been putting up work on the streets of Berlin since 1997 and anyone who has wandered around central Berlin is sure to have seen some of his art. His most recognisable character […]

Vhils – Go Forth: Street Art in Berlin
I decided last night that my post today would be a photo of this Vhils I spotted on Chausseestrasse last week. When I googled ‘Vhils Chausseestrasse’, in an attempt to be more descriptive about the location, I came across this post about four Vhils murals in Berlin.

Flohmarkt am Mauerpark – a Berlin Flea Market
The crowd at the fleamarket at the Mauerpark yesterday was a real mix of the optimistic and the pessimistic. Some were wearing hotpants, vests, flip flops and sunglasses.

My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background about these […]
Johanna Keimeyer at Stadtbad Prenzlauer Berg
On World Water Day, Stadtbad Prenzlauer Berg opened its doors to the public and hosted Pool Around Me, an exhibition by Johanna Keimeyer. As I’ve always wanted to see inside the Stadtbad I made sure to go to this exhibition before the GLS Language school renovates the building. The doors were open in the afternoon […]
Stadtbad Prenzlauer Berg
I have been fascinated by the Stadtbad Prenzlauer Berg (or Stadtbad Oderberger) on Oderberger Strasse since my first trip to Berlin in 2009 when I tried to wander into the building whilst it was being set up for a Swap Market event sponsored by Skyy Vodka. At that time I didn’t realise that the building […]
