Conceived as a platform for emerging talent, Dukat is a multi-use art space that alternates between an artist studio and an exhibition space that showcases its resident and guest artists. It is founded and managed by Collectif Kimera.
Constructed at the beginning of the 20th century, the building previously housed an explosives factory, a paint manufacturer and finally a Ducati motorbike garage (from 2009 to 2023). The last tenant left its mark on residents with its strong identity. The collective named the space Dukat, with the idea of reappropriating a symbol of industrialization to question the values inherited from the last century and envision an alternative future together, conscious of the social challenges ahead.
Dukat also hosts various cultural events ranging from art and design markets, screenings and fashion shows and introductory workshops in diverse artistic practices such as ceramics, fiction writing and publications.
