The wall

The mural went up in an underpass on Tumblingerstraße in Munich, between the advertising posters.

Painting at night

We painted it at night, in work vests beside the road, with the spray cans lined up in the empty underpass. At about 2 a.m. the police stopped us. When I said we came from Serbia, the officer told me to finish it when there were no police around.

The finished mural

Pioneers in white shirts and red neckerchiefs stand beside a red banner. The words Department of Propaganda run in yellow across the red bricks.
