Paper Girl Exhibition (Germany)

Just a reminder, the Papergirl show opened its doors on Sunday. Here are some photos from the opening night—it was an amazing evening!


Papergirl is a community-driven street art project that originated in Berlin in 2006 and has since spread to cities around the world. The project involves collecting artwork from the local creative community, exhibiting it, and then distributing it—rolled up and delivered by bicycle, much like American paperboys—into the hands of random passers-by in city centers. 

Papergirl was conceived as a response to the criminalization of posting art in public spaces in Berlin. Since placarding is a core element of urban art, local artist Aisha Ronniger created this alternative method of sharing art in public spaces, ensuring that it reaches a diverse audience without targeting any specific demographic. In this way, Papergirl revives the tradition of random distribution, reminiscent of newspaper delivery from past decades.
