Institute for (x) = Micro-Berlin
In a cluster of old DSB buildings behind the Godsbanen railway station is Institut for (X); a cultural platform for young entrepreneurs, designers, musicians, artists and craftsmen and a very special piece of Aarhus. Here, cultural entrepreneurs, voluntary organisations, artists and cultural actors live side by side in an area that is often described as a micro-Berlin. The area is teeming with life and exciting projects, and everyone is welcome to drop by. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
