In 2020, the artist Patrick Schütze from The Unity Shop realised this design adjacent to the Hugenottenhaus, curated by KolorCubes. It was created as part of the exhibition "Moving Rooms". In the context of the design and the exhibition, there was also a workshop with children and young people from Jumpers e.V. at the Hugenottenhaus lasting several days with Patrick Schütze, in which their own artistic designs were implemented.
Patrick Schütze has been painting graffiti since his youth and studied art in Kassel and Krakow. He has been an active member of the Unity Shop since 2009. The hand is adapted and reinterpreted from an art poster of the Frankfurt Art Fair from the 80s. At times it acted as a mascot and logo for the Unity Shop.
The Unity Shop was founded in 1998 and has been selling graffiti and skate merchandise ever since. Above all, however, the shop is an integral part and infrastructural driving force of Kassel's youth culture and street art scene. Since 2020, the Unity Shop has been located on the premises of the KreativFabrik in Rothenditmolder Straße 21, where the KolorCubes studio is also located. Both initiatives work closely together.
The artwork is part of the project "Public Art Gallery" by KolorCubes.
