B-Side

In awareness of the huge urban habitation of the 21st century and the challenges facing our and future generations, we want to create an experimental space for the further development of an economically, ecologically and socially sustainable society. An ideal place where the necessary creativity and innovation of these processes can unfold.

The B-Side as a civic and self-managed Project, aims to create, fill and preserve cultural spaces, as well as affordable office and work space for creative and social initiatives at the port of Münster. In the heart of our quarter "Hansa-/ Hafenviertel", which currently is going through the gentrification process, we want to enable and show an alternative, participatory and more creative urban development together with the district.

Culture - as an integral part of human life - is at the B-Side to be guaranteed a central position. This will be the factor connecting every aspect of the initiative. Thus the B-Side becomes the breeding ground for participating in urban development and a catalyst of social change.
As a platform for alternative participation in culture and creativity it adds significant value to the city and the district, which helps to ensure that Münster's port and Hansaviertel remain an attractive place for all people - urban, bustling and diverse!

Entering the program: Juni 2017, Duisburg
