Hellersdorf (Berlin), Germany
station urbaner kulturen, the nGbK location in Hellersdorf was initiated by members who have been active on this late-GDR housing estate since 2014. Over time, it has become an exhibition and event space, and a place for artists and local residents to work together, with activities including forms of urban practice as well as open-air events and exhibitions on the nearby green land, known as Place Internationale. At this location, too, the nGbK as a decentralized institution explores new discursive approaches to artistic and curatorial practice. The nGbK work group station urbaner kulturen uses different art and culture projects to initiate and develop interventionist processes, social structures, and ways of thinking about the future of the neighborhood. The new Society for Fine Arts (nGbK) was founded in 1969 with a grassroots democratic structure, and is one of the most active art associations in Germany.
