kuntsverein — Kollektiv zur Produktion, Förderung und Vermittlung queerer und post*migrantischer Kunst & Kultur verfolgt das Ziel, Kunst- und Kulturschaffende aus allen Sparten (bildende und darstellende Künste, Literatur, etc.), die sich als queer und/oder als post*migrantisch identifizieren, zu fördern und ihnen Raum innerhalb sowie außerhalb der großen Institutionen zu bieten, um ihre Arbeit zu zeigen, sowie sich mit anderen Künstler*innen und Kulturschaffenden zu vernetzen. In diesem Rahmen möchten wir verschiedene Arten von Veranstaltungen, Ausstellungen, sowie experimentelle diskursive Formate durchführen. Außerdem möchten wir als Kollektiv die Produktion von eigenständigen Werken unterstützen und fördern.

kuntsverein — Collective for the production, promotion, and dissemination of queer and post*migrant art & culture pursues the goal of promoting artists and cultural creators from all disciplines (visual and performing arts, literature, etc.) who identify as queer and/or post*migrant, and to offer them space both within and outside of large institutions to show their work and network with other artists and cultural practitioners. Within this framework, we would like to organize various types of events, exhibitions, and experimental discursive formats. In addition, as a collective, we want to support and promote the production of independent works.
