WALK IN THE RAIN
Walk In The Rain
Public Art Project
Walk in the Rain is an interactive street art project that aims to create visibility for climate research, statistics, and slogans from climate activists, while fostering dialogue and empowering individuals to take action against climate crisis.
Through the innovative use of hydrochromic ink and stencils, Walk in the Rain will transform the public spaces of Postdam into a canvas that comes to life on rainy days. We are seeking passionate individuals and/or collectives who are eager to make a powerful statement about the urgent issue of climate change through their research, activism and artistic expressions.

…HISTORY
Exhibition and accompanying program on ecological processes
The PROGRAMS focus on urban space as part of the planet's ecosphere. Three artistic positions are shown that work with biological, energetic, chemical and meteorological processes within the area around the data center against the background of the climate crisis.
The accompanying program offers the opportunity to become active yourself: to research, investigate or discuss climate issues - and to relate the local conditions to a global perspective.
ARTISTS: Diren Demir - Marta Djourina - Lea Maria Wittich
DIREN DEMIR
WALK IN THE RAIN
The interactive street art project illustrates results and data from climate research. Using stencils and hydrochromic paint, Diren Demir spreads scientific information around the city. The eco-friendly color only becomes visible on contact with water. For this reason, the interventions in the public space remain completely invisible on rain-free days. Tours leading to the graffiti will be offered during the exhibition period, in which Demir, together with the visitors, will examine the environmental features of the Potsdam area in the context of current research. A brochure will be published in parallel with the tours, presenting the exhibition locations and putting the research results into context.
Tours: 29.6. at 7 p.m., 1.7. at 5 p.m.
