CAZ.L is one of the most exciting names in the international street art scene. Through her powerful stencil and mural art, she brings walls to life, blending urban energy with profound messages. At Teufelsberg, she has left her mark with two impressive works: the striking “E” from the #FreiheitBerlin installation and the captivating “Medusa” mural, created during the Power of Female Art Festival in 2024. Both pieces tell stories of freedom, resistance, and the vibrant energy of city life.

The Thieves of the City

Standing before the “E” of the #FreiheitBerlin installation, you’ll encounter two iconic urban dwellers: a seagull and a crow. With these clever birds, CAZ.L captures the essence of city life. Seagulls and crows are masters of adaptation—free and independent, navigating urban landscapes, taking what they need, and overcoming barriers with ease.

The bold magenta background makes the birds stand out vividly. Around their necks hang peace pendants, a deliberate symbol that ties the message of freedom to a call for peace. CAZ.L describes her work as follows: “The crow and the seagull, the thieves of the city. Clever and skilled, they take their freedom.”

Through this piece, CAZ.L shows that freedom is never a given—it requires responsibility, creativity, and courage. The birds represent an unyielding desire for independence but also reflect the challenges that come with such freedom. This “E” is more than just a letter—it’s a powerful statement about urban life: raw, free, and full of possibilities.

CAZ.L and Her Vision

Behind the name CAZ.L is Ann, a Berlin-born artist who has gained worldwide recognition for her extraordinary stencil and mural art. Her artistic journey began on the streets of Berlin, where she transformed the city’s facades into stunning canvases. To reach the tallest walls and enjoy the breathtaking views over the city’s rooftops, she even went so far as to earn a crane operator’s license.

Her works are characterized by a harmonious interplay of color, light, and shadow, bringing both small-scale and large-scale pieces to life. She says of her mission: “My art is meant to spark unexpected smiles and bring a sense of community to neighborhoods.”

As a three-time finalist of the World Stencil Art Prize, CAZ.L has firmly established herself in the international street art scene. Her art can be found on the streets of cities across Europe and the USA, as well as in renowned galleries. Through her work, she combines creativity, a social message, and a desire to connect people.

Medusa: Between Myth and Reality

One of CAZ.L’s most striking murals was created as part of the Power of Female Art Festival on International Women’s Day in March 2024. Located in the Kantine at Teufelsberg, the mural “Medusa” explores a different kind of freedom—one of self-determination and resistance against injustice.

In this piece, the mythological figure Medusa is reimagined in a powerful and evocative way. Once a priestess of the goddess Athena, Medusa was renowned for her extraordinary beauty—a gift that became her curse. She was assaulted by the sea god Poseidon in Athena’s temple, and Athena, perceiving the act as a violation of her sacred space, transformed Medusa into a monster. From that moment, any man who looked upon her would turn to stone.

Using vivid colors, intertwined serpents as hair to emphasize her dual nature, and a piercing gaze, CAZ.L portrays Medusa in all her complexity. She is both victim and warrior—a symbol of pain, strength, and transformation. The mural seamlessly merges mythology with a modern feminist perspective, highlighting how women are often forced by external violence to discover their inner power. This message resonated strongly within the context of the Power of Female Art Festival.

Whether you’re marveling at the clever birds in the “E” or standing before “Medusa’s” penetrating gaze, CAZ.L’s art is sure to captivate and move you. Both works invite reflection and leave a lasting impression.

If you are heading to the basketball court, you will pass by a remarkable piece of art: a mural by Berlin-based graffiti artist Honey Beebs, one of the most prominent female voices in Berlin’s graffiti scene. As part of the Power of Female Art Festival in March 2024, she created an impressive mural on Teufelsberg, blending her signature style with a powerful message that’s as visually captivating as it is meaningful.

Honey Beebs has been active in the graffiti world since 2018, known for her distinctive style writing that focuses on classic letterforms. Inspired by hip-hop culture, her work stands out for its vibrant color schemes and strong concepts. She masterfully combines direct messages with a playful approach, making her art accessible yet impactful.

For this festival, Honey Beebs chose a deliberately minimalist yet striking approach. Her bold “Honey” lettering takes center stage, accompanied by a charming cartoon character: a smiling, walking pen with the message “Make Mistakes.” This whimsical companion reminds us that mistakes are a natural and essential part of the creative process.

The mural also features the powerful words “Equality” and “More Amor Por Favor,” which she incorporated in honor of International Women’s Day. With these phrases, Honey Beebs advocates for equality and calls for more kindness and love in everyday life. “I wish we could all just be kinder to each other,” she explains. These sentiments perfectly reflect the essence of her art—an appeal for humanity, respect, and solidarity.

The color palette of the piece is clean and harmonious. Soft pastels, contrasted with bold black and red accents, create an inviting atmosphere. From afar, the design draws attention, while up close, the details invite viewers to explore further.

You may have already come across Honey Beebs’ work in other locations. She created a mural at Freiland Potsdam, showcasing her distinctive artistic voice, and participated in an exciting project by Turbulence TXL, which is transforming the freight canteen at the former Tegel Airport into an open-air venue. These projects highlight the versatility and presence of her work in the street art scene.

Honey Beebs has become a key figure in Berlin’s graffiti community and has also earned international recognition for her art. Her work represents creativity, diversity, and the power of graffiti to convey meaningful messages. This mural on Teufelsberg is a perfect example of her style: a fusion of sharp aesthetics, playful elements, and profound messages.

Take a moment to explore the details of this piece. Notice the lines, the colors, and the placement of the messages. Perhaps the words “Make Mistakes” or “More Amor Por Favor” will inspire you to bring more of that spirit into your own life. Because ultimately, that’s what this artwork seeks to achieve: a little more joy, humanity, and openness in the world.
