Raubdruckerin—roughly translated as “pirate printers”—is a Berlin-based artist collective that uses existing surfaces like grids, manhole covers and concrete designs to create unique totes, tees and hoodies. Rather than simply walking over these overlooked pieces of the urban landscape like most of us world, the “Pirate Printers” choose to use them to create black on white gym bags from manhole covers in Paris and bike signs in Amsterdam, hoodies from manhole covers in Berlin and tees from covers in Lisbon. By using only a paint roller and paint, each Raubdruckerin piece is unique and authentic while also having a performance art aspect because they’re all printed in public.
