Our former space was a modern, minimalist studio located in the vibrant and diverse Gesundbrunnen neighborhood in Mitte, within Lobe Block—a multi-use terrace building designed by renowned architect Arno Brandlhuber. It served as a venue for a variety of events that reflected and engaged with topics central to coculture’s mission, from art exhibitions and artist residencies to music concerts, film screenings, and public talks. We envisioned the space as a reflective spot for social interaction and a hub for creative processes, offering its infrastructure for cultural production initiatives such as project development, coworking, rehearsals, and workshops.

During its time, the space became an active part of Berlin’s cultural scene through its diverse public events and activities, supporting and empowering artists in exile and other underrepresented minorities. We saw the growth of the space as a collective process—alongside the main program designed by coculture’s team, we invited the community to curate events on topics that mattered to them.

Our doors were open to neighbors, collectives, artists, and activists, fostering creative collaborations in an environment free of exclusion or judgment. The space provided a platform for exchange, inspiration, and dialogue, aiming to connect both new and long-standing members of Berlin’s society and offering opportunities to grow, create, and participate in coculture’s activities.
