Tropic Thunder (2017) Joram Roukes
For the Sober Walls event of the artist collective Sober Collective, three large murals were realized in Rotterdam Noord. One on Vletstraat, one on Erasmusstraat and this one on Schoterbosstraat. This work was given the title Tropic Thunder and was created by Jouram Roukes. The murals were completed on July 16, 2017. Havensteder is the owner of the building and has given permission for the painting. CBK Rotterdam contributed to the realization of Sober Walls through financial support.
