Infos:

An open space organized by and open for cultural and social initiatives. It’s located in the formerly club “Wiese” at WH22 / ARM area in Werner-Hilpert-Strasse 22, Kassel. The space was used during documenta15 but aimed to establish a space for grassroots initiatives and culture even after documenta. Now the open space is still maintained by aka collective. The space is based on self-organization and solidarity: aka collective is providing the basic infrastructure and space for concerts, exhibitions, talks, etc. The aka collective invites people and groups to use the space for all kind of non-commercial events. If you have an idea, please get in touch:

Except of single tenants like aka open space and Lolita Bar the area oh WH22 is still vacant (feburary 2023). Therefore aka collective joined the alliance “WH22 by many for many” – a network of various cultural groups and collectives from Kassel which aims to establish the entire area of WH22 as a location for culture & arts, social and educational initiatives as well as groups focusing on transformative change.
