The Project
Spaces of Possibility: Socio-Cultural Centre Mainz
With KULTURBÄCKEREI, a new centre for socio-cultural engagement is taking shape in Mainz – the first of its kind in the city. The association operates independently in its thematic focus, driven by strong social commitment. Here, culture is not seen as a luxury, but as a societal necessity: a tool for active involvement, enabling participation, and strengthening democratic processes.
The guiding question is: what can a place achieve that takes “Cultural Citizenship” seriously – that is, not only facilitating cultural participation, but also making power structures visible and challenging them? KULTURBÄCKEREI aims to explore exactly this, creating a conceptual and structural foundation for a long-term, forward-looking model of cultural participation.
