Due to the collapsing car industry in the 80es, Detroit lost almost half of its population and became a failed city. The BRIGHTMOOR MAKER SPACE contributes to an impressing process of urban reanimation. It is a social art project opening up perspectives for unemployed young people to develop their own start-ups for creative and useful products – by means of art and design.
Nick Tobier is a founder of the project and together with his art students, its motor.
