Finally communication barriers broke down. The objective of mural global was achieved through the help of a pleasing and uncomplicated house owner community and through many positive discussions with Council employees. The artists, private and business people and professional co-operation partners got involved and contributed a lot.

At last a fascinating mural of a high quality was designed. Residents and bypassing train travellers are inspired by the mural to dream and to communicate. The communication issue was also a subject of a successful youth workshop, which raised acceptance of the artistic activity. More graffiti murals are planned for Hildesheim.

„Os Gemeos“ is a group of graffiti artists. They started in 1987 in Sao Paulo and belong to the first groups of graffiti writers. They proofed their professional skills during various exhibitions, festivals and workshops. Os Gemeos: „ Our main intention is to observe, to wake-up, to dream and to perceive. Painting is just the materialisation of the ongoing ability to live.
