City Culture Center (Perm)
The Center was launched on May 18, 2016 as an initiative of the New Collection Cultural Projects Support Foundation, and over the eight years of its existence, it has hosted hundreds of different events such as festivals, exhibition projects, lecture programs, conferences, round tables, seminars, public meetings and much more. The Center is a fundamentally new independent platform for Perm, created to support local cultural, social and educational initiatives. The main goal is to open them up to each other and to the city, to give communities and specific people a platform for expression and active action. To do this, the Center uses different methods and formats united by a common and main value — partnerships. This is the mission of the center: to identify, unite and present the entire diversity of urban practices.
At the Cosmoscow, the Center is represented with an expressive architectural solution in the form of a rotunda. It is neither a presentation space nor a special project. This is the Center itself, packaged in a special way. Over the years, the Center has accumulated a large archive, a lot of material evidence, traces, and results, which are shown with the help of a special architectural detail. Cosmoscow visitors are only invited to unpack this immaterial "archive."
