Willing Witness

Willing Witness is a contemporary multi-disciplinary artist collective founded in Berlin, Germany, known for their thought-provoking installations, socially driven murals, and multimedia performances. Since emerging onto the local art scene in the late 2010s, Willing Witness has consistently engaged themes of memory, surveillance, and the complexities of urban identity, often drawing upon Germany’s layered political history and current social tensions. Their work fuses analog and digital techniques, blending street art traditions with video, sound, and participatory elements that invite viewers to question their own place as “witnesses” within the social fabric.

Notable for their collaborative approach and public interventions, Willing Witness has exhibited in institutions such as the Hamburger Bahnhof and international festivals across Europe, earning acclaim for their ability to turn city spaces into sites of critical reflection and collective story-making.
