Home | ROOTS & ROUTES

My first time at ROOTS & ROUTES was the Peer Coach Academy 2016. At that time I was a fresh hobby producer and didn't dare to sing or rap.

When I think back to my ROOTS & ROUTES Experience, this is what I have in mind above all: authenticity and connection.

Through ROOTS & ROUTES I was able to exhibit in several countries. This encouraged me, I have exhibited at TATE Britain since.

My name is KABU. I am a rapper, YouTube creator, rap coach, and producer from Tübingen in southern Germany. I have always been rooted in hip hop, but with ROOTS & ROUTES, I built a network that continues to strengthen me to this day.

My first ROOTS & ROUTES experience (Baltrum 2019) was very memorable and wonderful - without any expectations I spontaneously learned about RRCGN and applied for a project and was overjoyed when I got the acceptance.

On December 3rd 2019, history was made in the art world, when this year’s Turner Prize’s four finalists agreed to collectively share the award, before the judges deliberated on a winner.

Welcome to the international ROOTS & ROUTES Network.
