About TURBA Factory
The TURBA Factory is a non-profit artist-run project space located in Berlin-Tempelhof and is a part of the TURBA e.V. association. The term “turba” originates from Latin and signifies “restlessness, noise, tumult, confusion” or alternatively (crowd) multitude, horde, swarm,” symbolizing the dynamics of artistic processes. The members of TURBA Factory work internationally as well as inter- and transdisciplinary. With its innovative and interdisciplinary event and workshop programme, TURBA contributes innovative impulses to the Berlin project space scene. The TURBA Factory aligns with the “Understanding” of the “Network of independent Berlin project spaces and initiatives”.
Program and Collaborations
The program of the TURBA Factory particularly focuses on workshops, currently emphasizing woodworking, woodcutting, and different molding techniques. Exhibition projects reflect the workshop-oriented nature and interdisciplinary focus of the TURBA Factory. Every year the TURBA Factory also offers a workshop residency for international artists.
To register for the workshops, please send a short e-mail to mail@turba-art.com. Our exhibition program is collectively decided on a yearly basis.
