Mission

We create Institut for (X) as a urban neighbourhood and a cultural platform that is continuously changing, pushes the boundaries of what’s possible and provides inspiration for alternative urban development.

We facilitate and enhance cultural activities, combining artistic creativity with business, public debate and public education. 

Organization

Institut for (X) is a culture, business and education platform founded in 2009. It is an independent and not-for-profit culture association arising from citizen initiatives. We are located at Godsbanen in the centre of Aarhus, Denmark. 

All initiatives at Institut for (X) are members and organise through neighbourhood meetings. The administration is reduced to an absolute minimum, and everybody are janitors.
