Our existence allows us to contemplate urban development for and against urban society. The courtyard area is a silent activist against gentrification, which is increasingly transforming Düsseldorf and changing, threatening and destroying the living spaces of human and non-human actors. Another meditative aspect can be found in the diversity of the cultural projects; the traditional and the progressive are allowed to stand side by side. The key value is tolerance towards interests and an openness to the unconventional without pressure to innovate. As an urban biotope in the heart of Düsseldorf, the listed former backing factory is a refuge for creativity. The focus is on building long-term collaborations with local artists as well as a global exchange with a wide variety of living environments. Our small, dedicated team works flexibly and quickly to realize both small cultural gems and ambitious large-scale projects. For us, art plays a creative role in relation to society. For this reason, we want to be an open place - a space for living, exchanging, reflecting and experimenting, where artists, researchers and interdisciplinary experts are inspired and challenged to come up with unconventional ideas and presentations.
