Home | ROOTS & ROUTES

I got to know ROOTS & ROUTES Cologne before I even started calling myself an artist. There is a certain atmosphere and connection between people I have not seen or experienced anywhere else.

Through ROOTS & ROUTES my opportunities to collaborate with other disciplines in projects involving a variety of artists and forms of art have become more and more and so have my participations in festivals, exhibitions and in contests.

Baltrum had a very positive influence on my artistic creating, because i did an interdisciplinary art project with a gorup for the first time , due to which i learned a lot.

The pojects taught and showed me a lot. Without them I might not have ever given my artistic passion so much room and meaning. Espeacially coming from a family with restricted financial opportunities it was nice to see how the projects gave me a chance to be someone, to be able to voice my opinions and to love and accept myself.

My name is KABU, i´m from Tübingen in the south of Germany, near Stuttgart. Since the end of 2020 i live in Cologne, which ROOTS & ROUTES also is a reason for. I´m an independent Rap artist, Rap coach, media designer as well as a cofunder & coach of the Hip-Hop empowerment projects "TALK".

My first ROOTS & ROUTES Experience was in 2016 and since then, I couldn’t get enough:) So, I joined some more Projects.
Those Experiences had a big impact on my growth as an artist and also an even bigger impact on my growth as a human being.

Welcome to the international ROOTS & ROUTES Network.

We create interdisciplinary projects with young artists, promoting social and cultural diversity in the arts.
