Düsseldorf Saves: A public discussion on culture, participation, and urban society
What effects will upcoming budget decisions have on the independent scene, cultural institutions, and cultural participation in Düsseldorf? The public podium discussion organized by the Council of Arts Düsseldorf focuses on central questions of urban development. The audience is expressly invited to contribute their own questions and different positions.
When austerity meets cultural responsibility
On September 28, 2026, the central library at KAP1 will transform into an open think tank and discussion space. The central question is what kind of city Düsseldorf can afford and what kind of urban society should be shaped in the future. The event combines political framing, cultural perspectives, and direct exchange with the audience.
Panel with diverse perspectives
On the panel, Miriam Koch, the Cultural Officer of the State Capital Düsseldorf, Kristin Schwiertz from zakk and the independent scene, Marion Warden from AWO Düsseldorf, Achim Radau-Krüger from the Youth Ring Düsseldorf, and Patricia Pfisterer from the Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus and the field of cultural education will discuss. The evening will be moderated by Christian Herrendorf, known as an editor of VierNull.
Dialogue instead of frontal event
The panel discussion emphasizes participation. After the impulses and positions of the discussion group, the audience will have space for questions and their own assessments. This creates an immediate event experience where cultural policy topics, social responsibility, and the future of public offerings come together.
The central library at KAP1 as a cultural and meeting place
With its open architecture, numerous leisure areas, and its function as a meeting point for communication, cultural education, and knowledge exchange, the central library at KAP1 provides a fitting framework for this evening. The event planning thus connects a centrally located event venue with a topic that directly affects many people in Düsseldorf.
Conclusion: A discussion that concerns Düsseldorf
The event is aimed at everyone interested in cultural policy, social participation, and the development of Düsseldorf's urban society. Those who do not just want to listen but wish to shape the debate with their own questions will experience an evening at KAP1 with relevant perspectives, controversial positions, and open exchange.
