US street artist Shepard Fairey for Positive-Propaganda in Munich, Germany with this 15 x 13 metre mural. Shepard Fairey tackles the issue of internationally operating oil companies and their influence on global politics, warning of the permanent destruction of nature and the environment inherent in their policies.He is reminding us that this is a topic which doesn’t only concern the USA.
In 2014, for example, the British oil, gas and mining conglomerate Rose Petroleum was given permission to begin test drilling for fracking in Germany, in areas such as Weiden/Oberpfalz in Bavaria.
Leading scientists and NGOs already fear that the signing of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) – the free trade agreement between the USA and Europe – will become a carte blanche for corporations like Exxon Mobil, and that fracking will soon also be permitted in Germany.

Positive-Propaganda is a non-profit art association based in Munich, which is dedicated to establishing contemporary and socio-political art in urban spaces. The association’s members consist of a group of art and culture enthusiasts who share the aim of promoting young art and communicating it on a regional and international level. In doing so, our main concern is to sensitise young people to art and culture with current socio-political subjects such as human rights, environmental protection and cancer prevention.
