Make‑up

is a self–organised non‑profit project space and studio in Wedding, Berlin: a former joinery transformed into an open laboratory for collective production, performance, neighborhood work, and artistic exploration. As an embedded atelier community, it reframes spatial occupation as both everyday practice and creative infrastructure, resisting institutional formality while generating modes of working and making that exceed conventional frameworks and succeed or fail. This radical proximity to everyday urban life complements On Parasiting’s interest in inhabiting niches, embedding critical practice within lived social space, and experimenting with collective agency beyond disciplinary or bureaucratic containment.

Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien

as a public exhibition space in the historic Bethanien complex, the institution brings group and thematic shows in dialogue with pressing social and cultural processes, foregrounding diversity, internationality, and local resonance. Instead of presenting art as autonomous objecthood, the Kunstraum’s programs, accompanied by talks, discussions, and contextual mediation, cultivate moments of encounter and friction between practices and publics. This capacity to hold conceptual complexity within a municipal frame makes the space a crucial terrain for our engagements and tactical collaborations.
