Organizing Street Art Project

 

Multicoloured Dreams Helsinki

 

Helsinki’s policy has been very strict for polishing graffiti and other street art, illegally made, immediately away off its surfaces when it appears. While, this has made the environment more pleasant in many ways, the city still lacks the visual multidimensionality and existence of different visual voices and styles, that strong street art culture can bring to a cityspace.

 

Multicoloured dreams is a voice for developing creative visual culture in public space, but not illegally and by damaging property. Instead of demanding these walls to be opened to all possible visual markings, a procedure that can be accepted by all parties, including city authorities and owners of the construction sites, was developed.  Permission for use of each wall are sought from both of these parties, and artists are first asked to make a sketch of their work, before implementation on the wall.

 

Although less free than usual street art culture, it is still hoped for that Multicoloured Dreams can inspire many kinds of artists into thinking about novel and inspiring ways of using public space.
