Discourses
We direct our work along specific research themes that are meant to inspire open discussions.
Like ourselves, our discourses change over time.
Formats
Our formats are established ZK/U Projects that have turned into re-occuring cultural practices, now taking place on site regularly.
Projects
Our projects are artistic, research-related, socially relevant and often international experiments that can eventually turn into ZK/U Formats.
Hacking Urban Furniture
Exploring the history, present and future of urban furniture in collaboration with artists, urban explorers, administrators, politicians, activists and researchers
CityToolBox
Online-learning platform encouraging citizen-driven actions in the urban landscape – Change It Yourself!
Satellites
Satelites are ZK/U initiated projects happening outside of the physical space of ZK/U, or are organized by collaborators and partners at ZK/U.
Residency
A new, innovative venue offering artistic and research residencies of 2–12 months duration for art production at the interface of urban research opened its doors in summer 2012 in the district of Moabit in Berlin-Mitte, on the edges of Berlin‘s largest inland port, Westhafen.
