WE CAN
For children, artists and graffiti writers it has been difficult practising their creativity in rural villages, public spaces and small communities. Graffiti is tolerated in and on certain places. There is a lack of legal spaces in communities and this means a laborious search for the owners or applying for permits. And that’s why the idea was born to set up a huge can for useing it without questions and problems!
WeCan is a low-threshold art education project in public space, which stands for creative communication in the field of visual street art in the area of graffiti & street art. Children, young people and artists are invited being colourful and be creativ in a legal (non-criminalized) framework in public space. People should have the opportunity to participate in a collective work of art in public space, which is in a constant state of change.
With our CAN we created a prototype for a legal creative art space for youth centers, schools, cities and communities, where children, teenagers and the young at heart can develop freely and let off steam artistically in public space. The sculpture’s shape is reminiscent of a spray can and thus of graffiti, which is one of the most popular and polarizing contemporary arts worldwide. Through its shape and set up it marks our artistic area
