Cuvry-Graffiti, Overpainted street-art murals in Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany

Cuvry-Graffiti refers to large-scale wall paintings by Italian artist Blu in Kreuzberg, created on two building facades adjacent to an empty lot. The images depict stylized human figures with symbolic elements such as bound hands and masked faces.

The works were created between 2007 and 2008 as part of the Planet Process street art project, engaging with Berlin's urban transformations. In December 2014, the images were painted over with black paint during the night, a decision Blu himself supported to prevent commercialization by a real estate investor.

The slogan "Reclaim Your City" above the mural was already on the wall before Blu and JR painted; the two artists left it in place. The masked figures form a W and an E with their fingers, the US signs for Westside and Eastside, a reference to the Berlin Wall a few metres away on the Spree bank. The image circulated worldwide as a statement on the divided city.

The site is located in Kreuzberg near the Oberbaum Bridge and accessible from the Spree riverside. Visits are possible at any time, though visitors should note that the currently visible black surfaces are part of the artistic history of the location.

The overpainting was carried out by Lutz Henke, co-founder of the Artitude association, who had helped create the murals in 2007/2008. He said the black wall was meant to show that the city could act, not helplessness, and that only "Your City" from the slogan "Reclaim Your City" was left visible.
