Berlin is known as one of the graffiti capitals of the world. In an ode to this, Elon Musk wants talented young graffiti artists to help give his Berlin Tesla factory a makeover.

Known as Gigafactory, the plant is currently undergoing construction. Several buildings are coming to completion while numerous others are set to be built in the near future.

In a Twitter post recently, Tesla invited artists to submit their portfolios if they’d like to be apart of the project.

The company made the announcement on Twitter: “If you want to help cover Giga Berlin in awesome graffiti art, send us your work at [email protected].”

In the past, the West side of Berlin’s wall was once covered in political graffiti. Today, both the East and West side are covered in art, and forms an integral part of German urban culture.

The aim of this project is not only to bring together the Tesla car plant with local German citizens, but also instill a sense of character and livelihood into the buildings.
