The Sisterhood traveling exhibition focuses on FLINTA* in graffiti. It's about visibility, empowerment and the love of the can.

Whether trainwriting, streetbombing or photography, in the exhibition over 40 people talk about their passion and their positive and negative experiences in 22 interviews. In addition to these portraits, there is a historical outline of the topic of graffiti, the role of FLINTA* and all the interviews in a continuous loop.

At the heart of the exhibition are roll-up banners with information about the person portrayed and a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone and then the respective 5-10 minute portrait can be viewed. The banners are available in German and English and most of the videos are subtitled accordingly.

The Sisterhood collective, which conceived the exhibition over many years with little budget but a lot of passion, is delighted to finally be coming to the graffiti capital Berlin: "The exhibition started exactly one year ago and has already been in 13 cities. We are delighted that it is finally coming to the capital." In Berlin, the exhibition will even be expanded exclusively with artistic contributions from local sprayers and graffiti photographers.

Crews and sprayers who are at home in Berlin are also included. "The exhibition features an interview with the Real Home Girls, who made the subways and streets of Berlin unsafe in the early 90s, as well as active crews such as PMS or the Я crew and an interview with Martha Cooper and Nika Kramer, for example," reports one of the curators.

Graffiti is actually about style and anonymity, so why focus on FLINTA* at all? Because there are always prejudices, exclusions and obstacles for them there too. That's why the exhibition also wants to contribute to thinking about stereotypes and invite discussion. There will be a panel discussion on the topic "Graffiti has no Gender?!" at the vernissage, where the tense relationship between graffiti and gender will be discussed.

PROGRAMME

Friday, 15.08.2025, 6 pm: Vernissage & panel at Neurotitan

Panel: "Graffiti has no gender ?!"

Graffiti is actually about the style and not about who is behind it. But if you take a closer look, you quickly realize that gender still plays a role. Why is that the case? And what effect does this have on perception and the scene itself?

In this panel discussion, we ask: How do FLINTA* people experience graffiti culture - today and in the past? What does the Sisterhood collective take away from their conversations, films and encounters? How different are the perspectives - and what can we learn from these experiences? We invite you to an open discussion about the invisible structures in graffiti: with a Berlin old-schooler, an exhibition organizer and other exciting guests from theory and practice.
