Urban Nation Museum for Contemporary Art


Berlin, Germany

2017


Marina Bortoluzzi was part of the curatorial team responsible for the opening exhibition of this unique project: the first independent and non-commercial space for urban contemporary art.

With more than 100 artists, selected by Marina and all the others curators invited, Urban Nation Berlin made the impossible possible, and with the support of Berlin’s secretary of cultural affairs, Tim Renner, this initiative was congratulated because of its vision and ambition.

Located at Bülowstrasse 7 in Schöneberg, Berlin, Urban Nation was launched with artworks of artists like Invader, Shepard Fairey, Banksy, Faith47, Icy and Sot, Herakut, Nychos, RETNA, Jaz, Seth Globepainter, Olek, Zezão, Speto, Panmela Castro, just to mention a few. Marina invited not only Latin American and Brazilian artists but also internationally recognized talents to the institution.

The museum continues to exist to this day.
