1/3 Showcase
soft power is a collectively run non-profit art association and venue for artistic projects. As a conceptual framework, soft power appropriates a political term that describes and uses the influence which ”soft” assets such as culture and art can have on policies and economic spheres. The ongoing programme is guided by the question how this notion can be productively subverted, challenged and reclaimed from an artistic perspective.
In addition to exhibitions and other public formats that are taking place in our space in a former factory building in Berlin-Tempelhof since 2020, soft power also functions as a venue for changing residencies and as a workspace that combines curatorial, artistic, sociological and design approaches in an ongoing engagement with the structural realities and political conditions of collective practices.
soft power was founded by Linnéa Bake, Donna Donnerberg, Eva Herrmann and Melissa Lücking.

The non-profit association (Kunstverein) soft power e.V. was founded in May 2021. Since then, we have reflected on questions around institution building, programming, and how we want to work with each other and with others – this includes the growing community of members that have joined soft power e.V. and thus joined us on this collective journey.
As a member, you support our work with an annual membership fee (50€/100€). You will receive regular updates about our programme, prior access to events with limited capacity, exchange with others at members’ events, as well as special surprises…
As a non-profit association (e.V.) we can provide you with a donation receipt for the membership fee or other donations you might wish to make.
