Multidisciplinary Space For Young People, By Young People

Ciudad Cultural Konex is a hidden spot (or at least a well preserved secret) located in the heart of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Build in what used to be an industrial oil fabric, recently remodeled by Clorindo Testa y Asociados (a prestigious local architectural studio), the Konex is nowadays a , strictly committed to cultural activities.

Within it’s walls, the space holds a variety of creative events, with the sole objective of enriching both cultural and artistic aspects of Buenos Aires and it’s community. Ciudad Cultural Konex offers a different and fresh way for people to interact: visitors can perhaps watch one of the several performances offered weekly (very different from what you can usually find in the well known theaters), watch Bollywood movies underneath the stars on a summer evening, or perhaps listen to twelve percussionists improvising new and enchanting sounds on any Monday night.

Perhaps the most interesting fact about Ciudad Cultural Konex is that it has been designed by young people, for young people. It’s creator and director, Andy Ovsejevich, is 27 years old and he works together with a team of approximately fifteen people and none of them are older that 30.
