The focus of the minha galera collective and network is on the design and testing of alternative, solidary forms of living and working together. This translates primarily into the creation of physical places in and around Cologne that enable transdisciplinary work between art, culture and science, as well as promoting exchange about them. The various venues complement each other in their offerings:

minhafaktur is a cooperative and manages an area of about 1000sqm in the south of Cologne. In various workshops, studios and the open spaces in between, it promotes the joint use and acquisition of resources and, in its interdisciplinarity, allows synergies to emerge that are also made accessible to the public. | minhafaktur.de

NOPLACE offers physical space in downtown Cologne: for coworking, silk-screening, exhibiting, photographing, developing photos, hosting workshops, and exchanging ideas. In addition, NOPLACE offers mental space that makes the idea of autonomous and collaborative work transferable and practicable from the confluence of different skills and perspectives.

oddkin is an exhibition, seminar and event space in Cologne-Mülheim. Complementing lively gathering places such as NOPLACE and minhafaktur, oddkin offers spaces and room for projects that cannot find a place in the regular operations of other venues, such as multi-day exhibitions or seminars.
