WHAT WE DO
Workshops
People from Wuppertal's neighborhoods along the valley axis are brought into open working and discussion processes on the topic of home and identity in a podcast series to work out the unique selling points of their hoods.
Artwork
The special features of Wuppertal's hoods are gradually being transformed into wall art by international StreetArt artists along the valley axis from Vohwinkel to Langerfeld-Mitte, leaving behind stories from the individual neighborhoods and their people.
Hoodwork
The international interventions are accompanied by various urban space-impacting actions, our HoodActions, in the form of educational (e.g. artist talk), practical (e.g. graffiti workshop), and/or encounter (food, drink, meeting) opportunities.
