The time with ROOTS & ROUTES has been a phenomenal journey.
As a young hiphop & music interested kid I got in first contact through workshop weeks in cooperation with a local youth center in 2014.
On this page you will find insights into what ROOTS & ROUTES projects look like from the inside: Photos, short films and video documentations from our international encounters and from our local projects in Cologne.
Let’s start with a photo slideshow journey through the years since the first RRCGN projects in 2014.
Have fun with it!

The time with ROOTS & ROUTES has been a phenomenal journey.
As a young hiphop & music interested kid I got in first contact through workshop weeks in cooperation with a local youth center in 2014.
Before coming to ROOTS & ROUTES I didn’t know anyone in Cologne
ROOTS & ROUTES gave me an opportunity to meet new people, coming from different artistic backgrounds, having unique ideas and mind-provoking thoughts. Being surrounded by people from different socio-cultural backgrounds – expanded my perception of art.
My first time at ROOTS & ROUTES was the Peer Coach Academy 2016. At that time I was a fresh hobby producer and didn’t dare to sing or rap.
ROOTS & ROUTES gave me the opportunity to meet amazing young artists from different cultural backgrounds and creative fields.
Art is not only entertainment, it is much more, is an educative and strongly political tool because it makes you feel and relive a personal story.
