What started as a temporary project grew into something much larger, a home for experimental, interdisciplinary, and politically engaged work. From day one, we set out to create space for underrepresented voices, urgent ideas, and creative risk-taking. Thanks to the artists, audiences, and communities who brought it to life, that vision became a reality.
Ugly Duck was never just about the building. It was about what happened inside it: moments of joy, vulnerability, connections, and transformations.

Working with a network of high-calibre creatives we run a year-round programme of public events. With a focus on multidisciplinary art, new media and events that advocate for social change.
