It also asks why these often anonymous records are made even though they can lead to prosecution, and how they at the same time make graffiti culture visible and place it in historical context.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/berlin/events/mcl-presents-8-what-images-tell-usand-what-they-prove-graffi-33842/", "official_url": "https://urban-nation.com/2026/10/mcl-presents-8/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/124658f6c0fa8efc52e540e5e900362b373e825915f7ed0bd4058c201a056088-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-20T18:30:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Urban Nation", "address": "Bülowstraße 7, 10783 Berlin", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Love Letters to the City", "start": "2026-11-13T12:00:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Urban Nation", "address": "Bülowstraße 7, 10783 Berlin", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "exhibitions-museums", "tags": ["art/street-art", "history/berlin-wall"], "description": "Love Letters to the City is an exhibition at the Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art on Bülowstraße about the special bond between people and their city.
