URBANE Künste ERbeLEBEN is a project that has been inviting children and young people since 2018 to think about public space as creative city dwellers and to help shape it using artistic methods.
How do children and young people relate to urban space and public spaces? In cooperation with school classes, invited artists and architects create interdisciplinary workshops for pupils, during which they reflect on their understanding of urban space and bring artistic contributions into public space. What wishes, visions and demands do they have for their city?
Our aim is to rediscover the urban space together with the young people, to understand it as a learning opportunity and to playfully transform it into a platform for artistic interventions that bring together the past and the future.
