Masters of Street Art

Born in Munich, Germany, Michael Harker discovered his passion for photography after a long career as a management consultant. A self-taught photographer, he focuses on the beauty of the everyday, creating a unique perspective on the world of street art. Suzanne Bäumler lives in Munich and Lisbon and is an art historian and ethnologist who works as a curator of historical exhibition projects and takes an interdisciplinary approach to creating new contexts for visitors. At the centre of her work is the preparation of complex content for a broad audience, incorporating socio-cultural and contemporary historical contexts. She has already curated the cult book Icons of Street Art - Big Murals.
