TURBA  | TURBA Factory Berlin | TURBA Gallery

 TURBA, derived from the Latin word for “crowd,” is a collective of artists, curators, designers, and scientists. A permanent Berlin based team works alongside a constantly changing group of artists, providing them with an organizational infrastructure as well as professional support in the conception and realization of artistic endeavors. TURBA is an interdisciplinary community, embracing a diverse spectrum of genres and creative fields.

 TURBA began in 2014 as an experimental exhibition concept, emphasizing collaboration, reflection, and critical exploration of artistic perspectives. Over the years, it has realized diverse projects, including exhibitions, festivals, readings, performances, cultural expeditions, and residency programs in Germany, France, Switzerland, and the USA.

 TURBA Gallery opened on March 15, 2018, at Stephanusstraße 23 in Hanover. As an international exhibition space, it hosted collaborations with contemporary artists and curators, fostering connections between global and local cultural communities. In 2021, the pandemic led to the closure of its physical location. Since then, TURBA Gallery has carried on its mission through project-based initiatives at different venues.

 In November 2020, the TURBA Factory was established at Teilestraße 11, 12009 Berlin. TURBA Factory houses workshops for mold-making and small-scale woodworking and frequently offers hands-on workshop sessions led by its members. The Factory also hosts diverse events, building on the TURBA Gallery’s original exhibition concept with a now strong emphasis on the Berlin creative scene. As a production and project space it is funded by Kultur Räume Berlin.
