Eine Stadt Wird Bunt

The digital project UNSERE STADT WIRD BUNT uses an APP, an interactive city map, and an AR (Augmented Reality) tool to offer free digital services for the EINE STADT WIRD BUNT exhibition.
The exhibition shows a unique insight into one of the most exciting chapters of recent cultural history. It illuminates the "Hamburg Graffiti History" from 1980 to 1999; the transformation from a gray and barren Hamburg characterized by post-war architecture to a colorful, vibrant city that was one of the European epicenters of the graffiti and hip-hop scene. Hamburg played a central role in the spread of hip-hop's youth culture, particularly the art form of graffiti in Germany.
The accompanying digital services provide a location-based look into the past and thus extend the exhibition into the space in which graffiti is at home: the city.
