Community
Über uns
"We are a group of artists who are deeply concerned with societal issues and social justice. We pose these questions in our regular meetings and seek answers through our art."
Our working group was founded in spring 2022 and its current members are musicians from the independent scene who have come together to develop a functioning and adaptable utilization concept for the conversion of minciospace_. In addition to key topics such as rehearsal requirements, networking and exchange as well as financing models, the dialog within the working group showed that there is a common interest in dealing with socially relevant topics, breaking out of one's own bubble and actively participating in social processes.
With minciospace_, artists aim to create a space for artists that is true to all our values, responds to needs in the best possible way and acts as a place of inspiration and open space for people who engage in art in order to find solutions to present and future issues. The core areas of our vision are the following:
- Affordable, low-threshold space for ensembles and individual artists in the form of memberships
- Space by artists for artists
- Strengthening the exchange within the scene
- Offer of Performance Opportunities for Projects in Development
- Awarding of Residencies and Structural Support for Artistic Development
- Promotion of Discourse and Research at the Intersection of Art, Science, and Society
- Focus on the idea of "repairing the future" in all aspects
- Linking social participation, social change and cultural work
- Promotion of Diversity
- Develop extended concert formats
- Serve as a platform for new ideas
We are carefully expanding our circle to allow our vision to grow slowly.
If you are interested in joining the working group or becoming a member of the House, please contact the contact form . We are looking forward to hearing from you.

The area in which you would like to contribute is also open to you - we are always happy to welcome new members to the team.
Our work is currently still based on voluntary work. What we can offer, however, is space and experience. Our community members can use the minciospace_ as a rehearsal room, work studio or office space until it is renovated.
