culturia is a residency programme based in Berlin, Germany for artists and researchers who are engaged with alternative ways of producing work. culturia is an intersection of Berlin-based & international artist networks and researchers.

culturia has been building its networks since 2005 and has progressively continued to expand and develop its links with artists and other arts organisations. It started out from a residency that used temporary spaces in Berlin. It developed into an experimental place where the practice of exploring artistic processes became the key concept.

The residency period lasts up to three months, and can accommodate up to four people at a time.

culturia do not look for conventional presentations, but rather encourage the finding of solutions and real applications of works through the development of strategies. culturia ask residents to be independent in their research, development and presentation of their projects. Presentation does not have to appear as a final stage of the residency program.

Finding ways to present work alternatively to white cube settings are welcome.
