🦉 “You Are Never Weak When You Seek Help” — By HERA in Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪

HERA (Jasmin Siddiqui) painted the mural in May 2025 on a wall more than 17 meters high at Teufelsberg in Berlin for the Hilfetelefon “Gewalt gegen Frauen,” the German helpline for women affected by violence. Two figures in owl and fox headdresses stand beside the words “Asking for help is never a weakness” and the same message in German. Photo by Onuschka.

💡 Place Fact: Teufelsberg is a man-made hill: after World War II, trucks dumped rubble from the bombed city there until 1972. From the 1950s, U.S. forces used antennas and radomes on its summit to intercept Eastern Bloc radio signals until the end of the Cold War.

🛑 “The Last STOP” — By AxZstreetart in Warsaw, Poland 🇵🇱

AxZstreetart turns a no-entry sign into a tiny stage for the Last Supper, as shared on the artist’s Instagram.

💡 History Fact: Leonardo painted The Last Supper in Milan between 1494 and 1498, not as a true fresco but with tempera laid on dry plaster, and the painting began to deteriorate just a few years after completion. A restoration that took more than 20 years was finished in 1999.
