Main cooperation
Koopkltur e.V. is a nonprofit migrant self-organization (MSO) and a network of artists, urbanists, researchers, educators, and activists. The team develops and implements transdisciplinary projects at the intersection of art, education, and social learning, often engaging with urban spaces.
Through creative and participatory formats, the organization fosters spaces for exchange and collaboration. People with diverse experiences and perspectives come together, share knowledge, and actively shape collective processes.
Political Kitchen is a self-organized initiative and collective for socially critical and community-based cooking. Connected by shared values and migration biographies, our engagement is focused on decolonial and solidarity-based food practices, appreciation of food, and fostering of care structures.
Through educational workshops, community events, and artistic formats, we explore various power structures in the food sector as well as questions related to cultural memory and the history of food cultures in order to make broader societal challenges visible.
What is important to us is creating space for emancipatory narratives. In our activities, we care for self-reflection and discrimination-critical awareness.
