In the scorching August, Zomerfabrik Berchem transformed into a true open-air museum of street art. At the grand “Meeting of Styles” event (August 18-20), creative souls from all around the world gathered. Approximately 150 artists, like wizards of color, brought their ideas to life on vast 4000 m2 walls. These graffiti pieces shone along an urban art route that covered the Berchem district with its 20 stops. Each wall turned into a mosaic of diverse stories. What makes this festival even more enlightening is that each graffiti has its own QR code. With just a simple tap, you find yourself in the artist’s world on their Instagram page. It’s like a magical key, unlocking the door to the artist’s creative universe. The official opening of the “Meeting of Styles” took place yesterday, on August 18th, when Zomerfabrik exploded with vibrant colors and new narratives. Graffiti is all about self-expression, and it’s public!
