The work of the SK Stiftung Kultur der Sparkasse KölnBonn is dedicated to artistic photography, dance, the Cologne language, as well as cultural education and mediation with a focus on children's and youth literature and reading promotion, media art and film.
The genre of media art includes artistic works that have been created using the new digital media such as computers, the Internet, digital cameras or mobile phones and apps. In its project work, the SK Stiftung Kultur works for and with young and older people in a dialogue between generations. With our mediation projects, participants are given the opportunity to develop from passive media users to critical recipients and active designers according to the motto: seeing, understanding and creating.
