The "Bedarfsgemeinschaft" is a long-term research and event format in public spaces in various cities in the Ruhr area, which is carried out in cooperation with regional and national artists as well as local associations and cultural initiatives. In this project, places of everyday life - such as kiosks, playgrounds and weekly markets are transformed into cultural intersections. The aim is to promote cultural participation in the city districts. The events in ubiquitous spaces such as kiosks are intended to break down barriers and reach a broad audience. In this way, the initiators want to create a platform where artistic and socio-cultural topics can be negotiated fluidly.

The first format will take place on the 17th and 18th of August 2024 around the Schalker Kiosk&Bäckerei 28.
