Berlin

The lagos | Berlin Program offers a unique live-work residency designed for visual artists, curators, writers, and cultural practitioners seeking a focused environment in one of Berlin’s most dynamic, authentic, and evolving neighborhoods. Located in the residential neighborhood of Wedding, the space integrates living and working under one roof, providing an ideal setting for creative immersion, research, and production.

Unlike residencies focused primarily on exhibition, the lagos | Berlin program prioritizes artistic process, conceptual development, research, and the synergy between living and working, while maintaining strong connections to Berlin’s broader contemporary art network.

Lagos Berlin is located in Wedding, one of Berlin's most dynamic and evolving neighborhoods—a place where long-standing communities, international cultures, and emerging creative practices meet.

Known for its independent spirit, Wedding combines artist-run spaces, galleries, studios, rehearsal rooms, cultural initiatives, cafés, and community projects with lively streets, green parks, and local markets. Its rich mix of cultures and histories creates a constant source of inspiration, making it an ideal place to observe, connect, research, and create.

Multicultural Wedding retains a strong sense of authenticity and openness. Here, artistic practice exists alongside everyday urban life, fostering meaningful encounters between local communities and international creatives. Whether you're developing a new body of visual work, composing music, writing, researching, or working across disciplines, the neighborhood offers both the space for focused creation and the opportunity to engage with Berlin's thriving cultural ecosystem.

With excellent public transport connections, residents can easily explore Berlin's renowned museums, concert venues, literary events, festivals, and contemporary art institutions, while returning each day to a neighborhood that remains grounded, welcoming, and full of creative possibilities.

Among its most notable cultural and independent spaces are silent green Kulturquartier, SAVVY Contemporary, Uferstudios, and the bbk’s Bildhauerwerkstatt sculpture workshop. The district brings together contemporary art, performance, music, film, and community-based projects.
