Art and culture-based urban projects are at the heart of the IKMW’s “Triple B” project in Berlin, in collaboration with the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing and the 11_11 Foundation in Budapest. This project, in partnership with student groups and emerging cultural managers from the three metropolises, focuses on practical projects at the intersection of district development, aesthetic education, neighborhood development, and “third places.” Klaus Siebenhaar, Distinguished Professor at CAFA, and Daniel Ongjert, co-founder of the Hungarian 11_11 Foundation and a recent addition to the management team, will jointly lead the development and management of diverse activities, ranging from exhibitions and spatial research to structural practices, for Chinese students, particularly in Budapest.

Art and culture-based urban projects are at the heart of the IKMW’s “Triple B” initiative in Berlin, with the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing and the 11_11 Foundation in Budapest. The collaboration does not start from scratch: the successful larger and smaller exhibition projects in Berlin and Budapest (“Art Clinic”, “Timehouse”, “Berlin-Beijing-Boheme”) provided valuable experience and reinforced the desire for continuous cooperation, which focuses particularly on the international academic development of young talent.
