RoboLAB

Immerse yourself in the world of inclusive aesthetics and fantasy. Two years ago, Cologne-based artist Odo Rumpf built a “spaceship”: the RoboLAB. This barrier-free and accessible architectural sculpture on the Odonien cultural grounds in Cologne serves as a venue for the inclusive, cross-disciplinary art and culture projects of RoboLAB.

We need inclusive spaces if we are to achieve the future! RoboLAB 2022

In the summer of 2022, for the third time, our spaceship became the venue for the RoboLAB Festival. RoboLAB is co-produced by its artists and community members, created by and for people with and without disabilities and striving to make culture and art accessible to a broad audience. The program includes performances, visual arts, music, films and workshops within the RoboLAB Academy. Experienced cultural workers as well as interested laymen are invited to the academy to educate themselves inclusively through practical workshops from the fields of dance, performance, visual arts, literature, music and cultural work.
