Cultural projects in Genoa

Not necessarily bigger. More relevant.

Not an endless run of events that work, fill a space and are forgotten the next day.

What we want to build.

01

Recognisable projects, not one-off dates

02

Music released, artists given room

03

Relationships with other cultural realities

04

Places in Genoa lived in new ways

05

Collaborations beyond Italy

06

Work that lasts longer than a weekend

OBD stays the container. Single formats can enter and leave over time.

Looking out

Take the organisation. Bring our own character into it.

We look at what happens outside Italy, above all where culture, electronic music, spatial design and sustainability reach a level we still see too rarely here.

Then we bring something different into it: our Mediterranean character. Conviviality, imperfection, warmth, the spontaneous way of being together. Out of our shell, without denying it.

We do not know how long OBD will last. But if one day it ends, we want to be able to say its passage left something behind: a place lived differently, a relationship, an artist discovered, a night that was more than a night.

Things can be done well.

Without profit being the only reason to do them. If that sounds like your way too, write to us.
