The graffiti wall at the North Side Gallery makes sense if people play by the rules. A comment from BZ editor Isabel Herwig Photo: Parvets

Sprayers have been able to legally spray on a wall at the North Side Gallery since April – a great project!
This city needs even more places where creativity and exchange among Berliners are encouraged. It becomes problematic when they threaten to fail again because of individual people.
In the case of the graffiti wall, the sticking point is empty spray cans. They have to be disposed of in special containers, which are not available at the site. One or the other sprayer apparently has a problem with this and simply leaves his spray cans lying around.
Just last week, some of them rolled onto the cycle path on Julie-Wolfthorn-Strasse – and one wonders: how difficult can it be to take paint that you bring with you in your backpack and take it back with you?
