Prater Digital Foyer

The Digital Foyer is the first room that all visitors of the Prater Digital enter. It is a room in which visitors are welcomed and can orientate themselves. From here they then enter the performance room or the gallery room. On the walls and on the tables, the programmer and artist Berrak Nil Boya has collected motifs from the Prater’s diverse history. The room is intended to reflect the concrete cultural venue of the Prater and it should also invite non-digital-affine people to exchange ideas, as workshops, readings and discussion events will also take place here.
