THE OPPOSITE OF GRAY | DAS GEGENTEIL VON GRAU

Fallow land, vacancies, anonymity, standstill – not everyone between Dortmund and Duisburg wants to accept this. On the contrary. An increasing number of people are discovering possibilities and intervene in everyday urban life. A living room in the middle of the street, neighbourhood, community gardens. Town centres, repair cafés and tenants‘ initiatives arise from the niches of the cities – independently, self-determinedly and collectively.

Das Gegenteil von Grau / The Opposite of Gray shows different groups, who bring practical utopias and free spaces to live and fight for a solidary and ecological coexistence in the urban space.
