GESCHWISTERRRAUM GESCHWISTERRRAUM supports cultural exchange between Africa and Germany, with a focus on the visual arts as an open space for autodidacts, informally and formally trained artists.

Under the umbrella of GESCHWISTERRAUM gGmbH, GESCHWISTERRAUM in Welfenstrasse 6 / Karlsruhe and Weidenweg 61 / Berlin primarily offer living, working and exhibition space for guest artists. The exhibition space in Welfenstrasse also offers opportunities for exhibitions by art students and artists proposed by the guest artists. There is as well a focus on gallery work with solo and group exhibitions including participation in national and international art fairs; together with Galerie Martin Mertens / Berlin. An extensive accompanying program with readings, discussions and workshops takes place at both locations.

With this opportunity for international artist exchange through exhibitions, artist residencies and classic gallery work, the predecessors, mm projects in cooperation with Galerie Martin Mertens), theartape and gray+gray have now found their final form after almost 14 years of exhibition and trade fair activity, as an invitation to participate in and support this dialog.
