In Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt square, Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo created a powerful art display to talk about climate change.
She placed 1,000 small ice sculptures on the steps of the square, each shaped like a person. As the day got warmer and the sun shone brighter, the sculptures began to melt. This showed how global warming is affecting our planet.
The event, organized with WWF Germany, focused on how the Arctic’s ice is melting faster than ever because of rising temperatures. This doesn’t just affect the Arctic—it impacts the whole world. Melting ice leads to rising sea levels and extreme weather, making it clear that we need to act fast.
As the ice figures melted, people watching the display started thinking about how fragile life is and how important it is to protect the environment. Azevedo’s art used a simple idea to send a big message about the need to fight climate change.

When the ice sculptures disappeared, they left a lasting memory for everyone who saw them. The melting showed how quickly we are losing time to fix climate change. It’s not just the ice that’s going away; it’s our chance to act.

“I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” by Banksy
Content warning: Banksy's iconic 'I Don’t Believe in Global Warming' artwork in Camden, London, delivers a bold climate message as its red graffiti text submerges under water, symbolizing rising sea levels and the urgent need for action.
“I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” first appeared on Regent’s Canal in London in 2009.
This visual metaphor is both striking and powerful, suggesting that denying climate change does nothing to halt its effects, which are visibly rising around us.
The timing of this piece was no coincidence. It emerged shortly after the Copenhagen UN Climate Summit, a meeting that many deemed unsuccessful in producing concrete solutions to global warming. By placing his message in such a context, Banksy underscored the world’s inadequate response to climate change.
More: Climate Change Addressed Through Street Art (16 Powerful Images)
Fast forward to 2024, and Banksy’s message is as relevant as ever.
The artwork has become a symbol frequently referenced during climate action events and discussions. During London Climate Action Week 2023, the piece was prominently highlighted to emphasize the ongoing struggle against climate change denial and the urgent need for collective action.
In 2024, the impacts of climate change are more visible and frequent. From severe weather events to rising sea levels, the urgency to act against global warming has never been more pronounced.
Banksy’s artwork embodies the sentiment of disbelief and denial that unfortunately still circulates in some parts of society. Yet, it also inspires hope, pushing the narrative that awareness and action can and must rise above the tide of denial.

This piece is a piece that means a lot to me as it represents a lot. It symbolizes the simple message of ” keep doing what you love”. No matter how many hardships and obstacles you encounter along the way you need to just push them aside and do what makes you happy.
This is one of the first pieces I ever made and still one of my favorites. This image works as a piece of advice for everyone we all need to work to do what we truly love. Once we have achieved that, we haven’t really worked a day in our lives! – HIJACK
Who knew the unintended consequence of quarantine would be a good thing for nature. Let’s Make Earth Green Again by staying indoors and not f$&*#!% stuff up. – HIJACK
Pardon my appearance but I’m doing it for you❤️😷 – HIJACK
This represents the constant growing conflict and separation of today’s society politically.
It serves as a metaphor that as people we should understand the fact that everyone will have a different opinion than our own and it would be beneficial for us to try to understand the opposing side and use it as a source for growth and knowledge rather than a source for criticism and judgment. – HIJACK
⚠️keep your humans on a leash at all times please⚠️ – HIJACK
Sometimes progress takes us in full circle. Right back to a time when pictures made more sense. Lets not forget who started it all. – HIJACK

You never know what’s behind the mask. – HIJACK
True love lies… In our differences… – HIJACK
HIJACK: Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday signed into law a controversial abortion bill that could punish doctors who perform abortions with life in prison. Alabama will become the state with the country’s most restrictive abortion law and the law will immediately become fodder for the swirling debate over if (and when) the Supreme Court might consider overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. “When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy,” .”It’s a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the 1 essential thing a person should command: their own body.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes
“Some people are so poor all they have is money” – HIJACK
They are not less than you, they only have less than you. Turning a blind eye to 58k homeless people in our city isn’t a real solution yet we pretend it is. – HIJACK

As the anti-trust groundwork is laid down and investigations loom in the near future against many big businesses. It feels as if the only responsibility big companies have is to maximize profits at no matter what societal cost. – HIJACK
“The Transhumanist” – People have taken it upon themselves to hack their bodies as a way to harness the power of technology. The current body modifications may still be at there infancy and appear a little clunky but I look forward to the day of being able to put someone on vibrate. – HIJACK

Leon Keer: The mural depicts the story of climate change. As fragile as the cups are is also our earth. The cups are recognizable as tea cups from Rörstrand, the famous ceramics from Sweden. Size is 15 x 7,5 meter. Every street art piece is unique and belongs to the street and its residents, the temporary fact about this artform strengthens its existence.

By Isaac Cordal. Isaac Cordal is a Spanish Galician artist whose work involves sculpture and photography in the urban environment. More by Isaac Cordal on Street Art Utopia.
This photo is part of “Follow the leaders” installations by Isaac Cordal in Berlin, Germany.
“Follow the leaders is a critical reflection on our inertia as a social mass. Representing a social stereotype associated with power compound businessmen who run the global social spectrum. I worked with a great team of people that have helped me to realize this project.”
Isaac Cordal is sympathetic toward his little people and you can empathize with their situations, their leisure time, their waiting for buses and even their more tragic moments such as accidental death, suicide or family funerals. The sculptures can be found in gutters, on top of buildings, on top of bus shelters; in many unusual and unlikely places.
Nowadays this installation is more known as “Politicians discussing global warming”. A name Isaac Cordal support: “Popularly known as “Politicians discussing global warming”. Berlin, 2011. Young people is striking climate change in every corner of the globe today. Let’s join them!.”

Swedish street artist Herr Nilsson is known for blending pop culture with a rebellious twist.
His works take familiar cartoon characters and place them in unexpected, often subversive situations. From childhood nostalgia to dark humor. Below are 21 photos of his street art along with a short interview.

1.
Interview with Herr Nilsson:
When, how and why did you become an artist?
I was pretty young when I found out that I was good at expressing myself in drawings, most often much better than in spoken words. I spend a lot of time drawing and when I was about 21 years old I decided to aim for the goal of being a professional artist.
2.
“Another doomed paradise” in Gili Air, Indonesia.
How do you see your role as an artist today?
To make people have a good laugh and start to think critical to norms at the same time. I want my art works to be like punches with a smile, hard and precise, but in a fun and good way. In contrast to all the visual commercials I like to do visual mind benders.
3.
“(R)evolution” in Ljusdal, Sweden for the show “Humans you are fucked”.
How would you describe your working method?
I’m almost constantly trying new ideas, sketching them in my mind until they are pretty much done, then I realize them in a painting or a sculpture. Most often I experiment with two strong symbolic things or characters that convey totally different messages. And then, when I put these two together in a painting or sculpture, the new meaning conveys something totally different. Something I would like to share with my audience.
4.
“Humans you are fucked”
Can you name some contemporary works of art or projects that inspire you?
Fat Porsche – Erwin Wurm
Pepsi Cola – Lana del Rey (Rick Nowels / Elizabeth Grant)
Piss Christ – Andres Serrano
Banksy – Napalm and Dismaland
Yoko Ono – Instruction paintings
Caravaggio – All of his paintings. I know he’s not contemporary but the story of his life is very fascinating and his painting skills were the best.
5.
“Snow White Robbery” on Tranebergsbron, Stockholm, Sweden.
How can artists be paid for their work and at the same time maintain a critical attitude towards the commercial art market and public funding partners?
Most often you can say “f*ck you” to people if you can laugh about it together. The collectors that buy my art, at least those that I have had the chance to talk to, are all persons that like critical thinking and satire. Provocative art is not for everybody but there are a lot of people out there that like it.
Sometimes you are lucky and get a win-win situation together with the client. For example my latest art work, the sculpture of Ariel is entirely constructed out of rubbish from Lake Mälaren. It was sold to a Swedish entrepreneur, Konrad Bergström, founder of a company, X Shore, which builds electrical boats. He has a strong interest in the environment and the waters in particular. All rubbish that the sculpture of Ariel is built from was retrieved by the non-profit organization Rena Mälaren that specializes in retrieving debris from the bottom of the lake. Konrad payed me a good amount of money for the sculpture and then I give back a major part of that income to Rena Mälaren to finance their ongoing work, and then I can finance constructing more sculptures and so on. I find this cycle being very good for all participants.
6.
“Sleeping Beauty under the Bridge” in Stockholm, Sweden.
What would you like to change in the street art world?
More and more cities around the world are commissioning big murals at boring buildings and many artists can make their living on this. This is very good of course. But it is also a trend that these murals are almost always made to be decorative and nice to everybody, like the music on a big commercial radio station. Without any provocative or critical thinking concepts at all, this street art will be nothing more than generic. I would say that I wish that the clients could be a little bit braver when they commissioned these murals.
The good part is of course that all of us still can do street art works without permission and stay free in our creativity.

EFIX’s Clever Art (9 Photos)
EFIX is a street artist from France who turns ordinary city spaces into fun and creative works of art.
He mixes famous characters from pop culture with clever designs that use parts of the city, like pipes and walls. His art surprises and entertains people walking by. Imagine Lisa Simpson playing a golden pipe as a saxophone or R2-D2 offering flowers to a trash can—that’s the kind of humor and creativity EFIX brings to the streets.More like this: Oakoak’s Genius Street Art Transforms Everyday Urban Scenes (10 Photos)
What makes EFIX’s art special is how he cares for the environment.
He uses biodegradable materials like paper and glue made from sugar and flour. His art is meant to fade away naturally, leaving no damage behind. This makes his work temporary but unforgettable.EFIX is inspired by skateboarding, which helps him see city spaces as places for creativity and fun.
He uses everyday objects like railings, pipes, or bushes to make his art come alive. His goal is to help people look at their surroundings in a new, playful way and to bring out their inner child. For news about him and his artworks follow him on Instagram and visit his website!Here are some of EFIX’s coolest works:

Ariel by Herr Nilsson at Mälaren in Stockholm, Sweden
First artwork from Herr Nilssons ‘Clean Street Art’ Series
By Herr Nilsson cooperation with Rena Mälaren in Stockholm, Sweden.
Herr Nilsson: “After many years of provocative street art around the world, I was looking for something new and meaningful closer to home. When a friend presented the idea of creating something unique from scrap found on the bed of lakes and waterways, therefore highlighting a very important environmental issue, it immediately sounded just right. With the help of Rena Mälaren and an enormous number of hours later, the sculpture is finally ready to see the light of day!”Herr Nilsson building Ariel in Stockholm, Sweden
Constructed from rubbish
Today Herr Nilsson revealed Ariel, entirely constructed from rubbish from Lake Mälaren in front of the Royal Palace in Stockholm. The rubbish is retrieved by Rena Mälaren, the non-profit organisation that specialises in retrieving garbage from the bottom of the lake. Ariel is the first sculpture in a ‘Clean Street Art’ series in Stockholm, an inspiring new initiative to protect our seas. More sculptures in this series will be installed in various public locations around Stockholm during summer.

Ariel consists of mobile phones, cord phones, a vacuum cleaner, a sink, an oil barrel, a car tyre, a computer mouse, a watch, screws, and circuit boards. Key features such as Ariel’s hair are made from hoses, while her eyes are discarded CPU fans. Most notably, one of her raised middle fingers are represented by a knife, while the rocks situated at the front of the sculpture are old lead boat batteries, which are incredibly damaging to the environment.
Ariel and her soon-to-be companions are not only works of art, but symbols of the importance of

Herr Nilsson broke onto the international street art scene in 2012 when he painted a series of paintings titled ‘Dark Princesses’, including Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty armed with knives and pistols. The Disney princesses lurked around street corners in Stockholm where they appeared to wait for passers-by. As a result, Herr Nilsson was invited to a number of exhibitions in New York, Miami, London and Tel Aviv. The collectors of his work are found all over the world, among them being famous financiers and royalty.Ariel and Herr Nilsson at Mälaren in Stockholm, Sweden

Since 2006, OAKOAK has had streets, walls, sidewalks and roads as its playground. Originally from Saint Etienne, he sticks his drawings in each of the places he crosses in order to create a smile in the pedestrian at the bend of a street where he does not expect it.
His approach consists of diverting urban elements, playing with flaws that at first glance seem of no particular interest, such as cracks in a wall. He thus adds his own vision, his own references which often relate to the geek universe. A way of imagining the urban space in a more poetic way.From playful interactions with crosswalks to whimsical depictions of beloved cartoon characters like Homer Simpson and Obelix, Oakoak’s work brings a fresh perspective to the streets.

Street art has change my life step by step because I started to realize that I was able to realize kind of a dream, well, a strong inner project: it was possible for me to ‘’move’’ people in both ways: poetically (well I hope so at least time to time) and geographically. – näutil
On of my favorite anecdote : a kid was inside the blockhaus where I have painted a big elephant (7 meter high) and then his father was calling him and he answer “wait dad, I’m inside the elephant, I’m coming !”. Well, it is very rewarding to provoke that kind of poetry, to help kids or people to reconnected themselves with little small thing that make souls and desires happy or filled. – näutil

What If LEGO Could Repair the World? (12 Photos)
German artist Jan Vormann has turned the idea of fixing cracks in urban landscapes into a global movement with his Dispatchwork project.
Using colorful LEGO bricks, Vormann repairs crumbling walls and structures, transforming decay into vibrant art. His playful installations, found in over 40 cities, challenge us to see imperfections as opportunities for creativity.🔗 Follow Jan Vormann on Instagram
The Global Movement of LEGO Repairs
Vormann began Dispatchwork in Bocchignano, Italy, in 2007, and his project quickly spread worldwide. By filling gaps and cracks in aging buildings with LEGO bricks, his work contrasts the weathered tones of old structures with the bright colors of modern play. Some installations use just a few bricks, while others incorporate thousands, creating an eye-catching patchwork of color.More like this: Ememem – Repairing Streets with Artful Mosaics
How Jan Vormann Turns Cracks Into Colorful Masterpieces
Each repair tells its own story, inviting viewers to reflect on urban decay and restoration. What makes Dispatchwork unique is its collaborative nature: passersby are often encouraged to participate, adding their own LEGO creations to the repairs. This transforms each artwork into a shared expression of creativity between the artist and the community.
LEGO Art That Inspires and Connects Communities
Jan Vormann’s project reminds us that art isn’t limited to galleries—it can be part of the everyday world. His work brings smiles to those who encounter it and sparks conversations about urban imperfections. It’s proof that even small creative gestures can leave a big impact.

“The Milkmaid” Reimagined
Oakoak brings Johannes Vermeer’s The Milkmaid to life in an urban setting. The artwork is seamlessly integrated with a real milk can, making it appear as though the milk is pouring into it. This clever illusion merges classical art with modern street elements.2.
On/Off Switch
This playful street artwork creates the illusion of a massive “ON/OFF” switch embedded in the pavement. The protruding element gives the appearance of a button, making passersby want to reach down and flip it.3.
Dancing with the Fence
Oakoak transforms a bent section of an old metal fence into a dancing figure. By adding small, round faces to the rusted metal, the artwork gives life to what was once just urban decay, turning it into a whimsical moment of movement.4.
Balcony Illusion
In this creative piece, Oakoak uses a real iron balcony and extends it with a painted silhouette of a person standing on it. The clever placement of the figure makes it appear as if someone is leaning casually on the railing, blending reality and illusion.5.
Pushing the Crosswalk – France
On a worn-out pedestrian crossing, small painted stick figures appear to be pushing the white stripes, playfully engaging with the faded lines as if they are part of a larger urban illusion. This intervention adds humor to a commonly overlooked street feature.6.
Tightrope Walker
A miniature figure in a pink dress balances on a real metal chain, holding an umbrella for support. The artwork transforms an ordinary urban element into a stage for a daring tightrope act.7.
The Fire-Breathing Dragon
In this witty urban piece, Oakoak uses fire damage on a building’s exterior to create a scene where a small red dragon appears to be the cause of the scorched wall, breathing flames upward.8.
Charlie Chaplin Bollard
Oakoak turns a simple black bollard into a tribute to Charlie Chaplin. By adding the iconic face and hat, the mundane street fixture is transformed into a recognizable pop culture figure.9.
Hydrant Lovebirds
In this playful and romantic intervention, Oakoak transforms two red fire hydrant pipes into a pair of lovebirds gazing at each other. With painted eyes, arms, and floating hearts above them, the pipes appear to embrace, turning an ordinary urban feature into a charming street scene.More by Oakoak: From Homer Simpson to Obelix: Oakoak’s Genius Street Art (10 Photos)
