January 1st 2020 – December 31st 2024
The iJuLa project opened up space, in which young artists can work on intersectional themes: sexual and gender diversity/queerness, racism, the interaction of different forms of discrimination – and we invited young artists from cologne, to design these spaces with us and fill them with life and ideas by coordinating their own program within it.

“You are 16 to 27 years old, artistically active and interested to implement ideas for/in the space, together with other young artists and local youth? Come over to our iJuLa space in Herthastraße 50 in Cologne Zollstock!” – is how we approached young people within the city of cologne for 4 years and which brought us a fruitful collaboration with our wonderful young curators.
On July 2nd, 2021, the iJuLa youth lab in Cologne-Zollstock could finally officially open with an open day: The sun was shining, people came by throughout the day, there was screen printing, live music and live dance on the open stage, collective painting… and from now on there will be regular activities in the space, at least until the end of 2024!
