What started as a temporary project grew into something much larger, a home for experimental, interdisciplinary, and socially 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.
