A home for artistic practices, notions, voices, and visions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in Berlin.
We bring together studio + gallery as interconnected, collaborative spaces — built to empower BIPoC artists, designers, and cultural practitioners to grow their practice, experiment freely, and connect across disciplines.
From lived experience to postcolonial theory. Between power relations, stolen treasures, and resistance — a third space emerges.
01 — Subvert
A space that subverts
We challenge the structures of the white cube and colonial art systems, making room for practices that refuse to fit neatly within established frameworks.
02 — Celebrate
A space that celebrates
Centering joy, abundance, and the richness of diasporic, migrantized, and migrant hybrid identities — visibility as an act of resistance and care.
03 — Make Visible
Complex lived realities
Beyond simplification — our platform holds the full complexity of BIPoC experiences: contradiction, beauty, grief, power, and radical imagination.
It began in Windhoek, Namibia — two artists deep in conversation during a residency. Gifty Amoateng and Miriam Chebaibai Koch spoke about reparations, repatriations, and the paradoxes of living as Black artists in Europe.
From those talks grew a vision: an accessible, empowering space for BIPoC creatives — not a charity or a concession, but a genuine infrastructure of solidarity.
In 2024, the EXIST Women grant made it real. We began building an art platform that pushes new BIPoC perspectives — practicing democracy, self-expression, resilience, and community care in the face of rising fascism.
In 2025, Krishan Rajapakshe joined our curatorial team, bringing new dimensions to our vision. Together, we are launching our first residency and exhibition series from our Berlin Wedding headquarters.
Windhoek, Namibia — The Beginning
A residency conversation between Gifty and Miriam sparks the idea for off:hybrid — rooted in reparations, repatriation, and the paradoxes of Black artistic life.
2024 — EXIST Women Grant
The grant is won. Building begins. An art platform shaped by and for BIPoC perspectives — practicing democracy and community care.
2025 — The Team Grows
Krishan Rajapakshe joins the curatorial team. The platform deepens. Wedding, Berlin becomes headquarters.
