This publication is a review of the multifaceted project work of the study program Metropolitan Culture (KM) and combines practical examples with multilayered theoretical dimensions of knowledge. The core of the publication is a pool of text and image material that was created in seminars of the central module "Cultural Practice". The very disparate material has been condensed into project portraits that convey a vivid impression of the themes and working methods that have determined the last 10 years of KM (2010-2020/1). These portraits are supplemented by short text inserts that zoom out from the concrete project work and situate it in a broader field of tension of various discourses and questions.
