The event, scheduled to take place on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 5 PM, will be held on the parking lot in front of House Lenneper Straße 28, where the second mural has been on display since early July.
The third mural, based on Pina Bausch's piece "The Window Cleaner," was created at Ackerstraße 18. The artist behind this captivating piece is Caratoes, a talented artist from Hong Kong.
