This project by artists Georg Scherlin and Verena Seibt creates a space for exhibitions, events, cinema and, above all, as a self-determined meeting place for children and young people.

The cave is designed together with children in a workshop lasting several days. Mysterious mini-dioramas are created, which become part of the cave structure. "El Grotto" is a free space that functions without consumer pressure and inspires the imagination - a place where children can create their own worlds and take responsibility.
