## What is DRIFTER?

DRIFTER is a companion with which to explore urban space in Berlin and beyond. In audio-walks covering themes like the city’s architecture, urban transformation processes, and everyday life, the app leads you to unknown places, reveals unheard stories and sets the scene for unexpected encounters.

City expeditions like these help both visitors and locals gain a new understanding of urban life by bringing different actors together in conversation and opening up perspectives. Breaking down barriers of everyday perception and performing a more holistic view on city life are essential prerequisites for a meaningful co-creation of the urban environment. Experiences like these are an essential foundation for informed participation in the production of the city.

So, put your earphones on and let DRIFTER be your acoustic compass guiding you through the city. Have fun strolling through urban space in a new way and expand your knowledge by jumping on one of our audio-guided walks. They are packed with thoroughly researched information with commentary by experts from various disciplines, loaded with authentic testimonies, and enriched with voices from locals.

We collaborate with research and cultural institutions as well as a wide range of actors involved in urban development and transformation processes.

DRIFTER is brought to you by POLIGONAL Office for Urban Communication Berlin.
