Before coming to ROOTS & ROUTES I didn't know anyone in Cologne

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.

I learned most of my craft’s abilities working on ROOTS & ROUTES projects, met some of my best friends and collaborators.

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.

The time with ROOTS & ROUTES has been a phenomenal journey.
As a young hiphop & music interested kid I got in first contact through workshop weeks in cooperation with a local youth center in 2014.

Thinking back to the time at RRCGN, feels like a rollercoaster ride. It´s icredibly intensive and emotional. Behind every corner there is waiting something new.

Welcome to the international ROOTS & ROUTES Network.

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