marina naprushkina

Ich arbeitete vorwiegend außerhalb institutioneller Räume und konzentriere mich auf die Schaffung neuer Strukturen, die auf Selbstorganisation basieren und in ihrem Vorgehen Theorie und Praxis zusammenbringen. 2007 gründete ich das „Büro für Antipropaganda“, eine Plattform für künstlerische und aktivistische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema politische Propaganda. 2013 initiierte ich die Initiative „Neue Nachbarschaft/Moabit“ und 2019 das Moabit Mountain College.
Für mich ist ein physischer Raum nicht von einem sozialen Raum zu trennen. Wenn ich einen Raum gestalte, muss ich an diese beiden Komponente denken und sie beide in den Gestaltungsprozess einbeziehen.
