From June 6th to 12th, Charlotte Dutoit of JustKids and Rom Levy of StreetArtNews, were invited by Urban Nation, Berlin, to take over their signature event Project M, with this project being M/9. Bringing some summer vibes to Berlin they selected six internationally acclaimed street artists to create murals around the future museum building in Bülowstrasse 7, in the german capital Berlin.

Artists invited to paint murals around the cultural city were 1010, Askew, Bicicleta Sem Freio, Borondo, Eron and Fafi.

Spanish street artist Borondo created his highest piece to date, a fourteen story building divided into two vertical sections. The mural portrays on one side a young girl looking through the wall to a classical figure of St. Sebastian in a dense forest landscape on the other side.

French artist Fafi, who painted the Berlin wall many years ago, created her alluring and powerful Fafinette heroin character with a colorful background on a six story building, her largest mural to date.

Italian street artist Eron paint the “Finish Line” / Soul of the Wall. With his original spray painting technique, the artist achieved a unique design simulating a rusty liquid drip coming from the air vent that stains the wall in a shape of a Marathon runner crossing a highly symbolic barbed wire line.
