What we do

We run and enhance the vibrant community hub of the Wunderkammer pier every day, so that it may be a place of active and participatory use.

Together with the eight organisations that make it up, we create, host and promote initiatives, projects, courses, workshops and events in the design, architecture and environment sectors; performing arts; music; visual arts and cinema; sport, play and wellness; innovation and entrepreneurship.

This is why Wunderkammer hosts different practices and transforms even several times a day, but always remaining in line with its mission to involve and support the community through inclusive and participatory activities:

it’s a place for work, meetings, collaboration and production for the associations that make up the Wunderkammer Consortium
it’s a co-working space (banCO) suitable for craftsmen, artists, freelancers and young creatives
it’s a music and dance school
it’s the heart of all initiatives relevant to the urban regeneration of the dock area in Ferrara (e.g. Smart Dock project)
it’s a venue used for exhibitions, concerts and performances
it’s a socially inclusive education centre that nurtures new talents
it’s a base for rediscovering river life
it’s a river sports centre where world champions started their career
it’s a welfare point for career and business set-up orientation and support

Wunderkammer also goes beyond its own borders, embarking on projects, events, collaborations and co-productions at local, national and international level.
