Habibi Kiosk alternates between digital and analog formats, providing space for art as part of the cities narrative. A series of concerts, exhibitions, city talks, and music performances, should enable the exchange between different local communities and gain them visibility.
2038 is a non-profit company with the goal to promote architectural discourse across disciplinary boundaries. 2038 talks to experts from various fields and shares their views and opinions, in partly edited form. 2038 does not claim the approaches, contents and theses of the experts and does everything to quote and name them correctly and in detail. Should this exceptionally not be the case, just write us an email (press@2038.xyz) and we will immediately update the information accordingly.
