Berlin Artists Transform Hateful Swastika Graffiti Into Creative Works of Friendly Street Art
Neighborhood activist and street artist Ibo Omari of Die kulturellen Erben e.V. in Berlin has created #PaintBack, an empowering campaign that transforms hateful swastika graffiti into creative works of street art.
Working with other graffiti artists and kids from around the neighborhood, Omari has turned the vitriolic symbol into humorous, friendly works of art. Omari has also created templates for others to do the same when they see the opportunity.
Answering messages of hate with love & art.
