Photos of 2024 on BSA – #12: Lady Pink’s Love Letters to the City at UN

We’re celebrating the end of one year and the beginning of the next by thanking BSA Readers, Friends, and Family for your support in 2024. Picked by our followers, these photos are the heavily circulated and “liked” selections of the year – shot by our Editor of Photography, Jaime Rojo. We’re sharing a new one every day to celebrate all our good times together, our hope for the future, and our love for the street. Happy Holidays Everyone!


This shot is a favorite for many reasons. We are celebrating seven years since the opening of the Urban Nation Museum with just a handful of curators. It’s exciting to see the Berlin museum continue to grow, reaching new audiences and sharing the ever-evolving story of street art.

Marking the launch of the new exhibition, Love Letters to the City, the façade features a striking piece by Lady Pink, the legendary New York train writer of the 1970s. Her “love letter” unfolds through a sensuous female form, a nod to both her roots and her enduring voice in the scene. The U2’s section between Bülowstraße and Nollendorfplatz is particularly iconic, and in the foreground, the blazing yellow train rolls by, a vivid reminder that time waits for no one.
