  Founder

  Zucasa is a cultural center built by migrants who take their clothes and shoes off in front of a new house. As a cultural center, we seek to build a common space of integration; a house, an open living room where all members can cooperate, express themselves and experiment. Zucasa Kulturzentrum opened its doors once a week, with activities throughout the day: common work spaces where all members can work and cooperate, cultural events promoting art and integration, laboratories of artistic experimentation and joint learning, debates on current issues and urban interventions.
