A mural by the urban art collective"Freiraumgalerie" decorates a building in Halle's Freiimfeld neighbourhood on August 22, 2019. The $7.7-million project, which once finished will cover 8,000 square metres of wall space on four buildings, was commissioned by HWG, the housing association responsible for the blocks.When HWG began a full-scale refurbishment of the buildings in 2018, the idea was to create "something original with which the residents could identify", says association managing director Juergen Marx.
Even if they did not paint exact likenesses, residents would be able to recognise themselves on the building, he added.
