    Help us make our Babel-dream come true

    In the night of April 9th, Tower of Babel burned to ashes. Together with the neighbourhood and many supporters, Rooftoptiger decided that this would not be the end of a story that was written with so many.

    We are currently working on the design for a new installation, BabelBühne, which will transform the site into a green oasis, a real ‘Dam-resort’. Not a tower, but a structure composed out of terraces and water features inspired on ‘the Hanging gardens of Babylon’.
    It will be a durable and functional sculpture that once again enables encounters across borders and offers a space for different activities, sports, culture or literary hybrids. In short, it will be a physical and figurative platform for encounter that underlines the importance of multilingualism and diversity. The summer program that was already planned for Tower of Babel can therefor continue.

    To build this new installation, Rooftoptiger launched a Crowdfunding campaign. You can make your donation until the end of June. We hope to welcome you on site this summer for an even more powerful continuation of the project.


    “Because of the corona-virus we might not be able to travel abroad, but in our new installation we can travel the world in our own city!”


    Thanks and praises!

    See you at the opening of BabelBühne!

  2. Chalk Line - ode to tower of Babel 11.04.20


    As a scar, Tower of Babel lies engraved in ashes on site and leaves traces of creativity. It inspired Bram Rombouts from Rooftoptiger, Lamine Diouf, co-initiator of the project and fellow Archipel artist Davey Verhaeghe to mark the ‘crime scene’ … as if it were to outline new beginnings?
