Home | ROOTS & ROUTES

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

I loved the impact ROOTS & ROUTES had in my life, to open my view to interculturality and multidisciplinary projects.

Since I took part to my first ROOTS & ROUTES project, I have been studying dance and theatre with more awareness than before.

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".

If one word could describe both projects, it has to be "lively". The time during the projects is very intensive. You get to feel every existing feeling there is, wich is wonderful.

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.

Welcome to the international ROOTS & ROUTES Network.

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