FILTER Detroit is a research residence for artists, makers, musicians, architects and thinkers in and out of Detroit.

Mission

FILTER Detroit is a hub of investigations and knowledge concerning urban, social as well as cultural movements from Detroit.  The architecture of the house as well as the immediate neighborhood and its activities allow it at times to become a communal place of sharing and gathering knowledge.

The invited guest(s) live in a residential home in a neighborhood and have the opportunity to research, work and interact in the city. FILTER Detroit is a destination providing living and workspace and the possibility to dwell into the cities’ fabric – while exchanging and networking with Detroit artists and cultural institutions.

Goals

Each invited resident is asked to leave something behind, which is added to the constantly transforming “Living Archive” of site-specific knowledge, art and activity. FILTER DETROIT is building up a living archive, a constantly transforming archive of information, documentation, knowledge, activity and space about urban culture(s), spatial interventions as well as social and artistic movements in Detroit and particularly on Moran Street.
