Kap Hoom

Collective

kap-hoorn-logo

Kap Hoorn is a platform for Latin American artists, curators and other positions of the visual arts field who reside in Berlin. Our objective is to unite the very diversified Latin American artistic scene that exists here.

Until now and for decades, very talented and dedicated people who have come to Berlin, with a south and central American origin, have given very valuable individual explorations in their field without dialoguing on common grounds and differences with their peers, making a common rich discussion and investigation not fulfilled. Here we aim the opposite.

We are a group of artists that share not only our place of origin and displacement but also our concerns, processes and the development strategies of our artistic endeavors. We believe that by promoting artistic creation, information flow and the understanding of the local structures in an organized and  united manner, we can build an own space that will allow us to show the existent talent and quality of Latin American art represented in many different artistic disciplines.

Our main objective is to set up a Scene, in Berlin and Germany, that will promote the discussion and diffusion of high quality creative work with a Latin American origin.

HOW

As a nonprofit platform (Gemeinnützig gUG), our intention is to organically shape the artistic Latin American landscape by generating knowledge networks, creation/representation instances and content support. 

The working strategies that will guide us in the accomplishment of our objectives are defined like this: collaborative work, creation and visibility. 
We use our Tertulias, presentations, exhibitions, workshops and publications to further achieve our goals.
