How it works

Reclaiming Space for Cultural Resistance

Cultural Resistance is not a brand. It’s a movement rooted in Turba تُرْبَة — the soil of care, knowledge, and redistribution.

We ask one question every day: how do we reclaim space for culture, justice, and truth? Every Seed, every act of support, and every LiveLab is part of that search. Together, they form a network of solidarity and ethical exchange.

Seeds of Action

Every few weeks, we plant a Seed with artists, cultural practitioners, and activists on the frontlines. Each Seed responds to urgent struggles, choosing a direct-aid cause to amplify through art, care, and attention.

Seeds link struggles across Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon, Congo, and Berlin. Cultural resistance is never local — reclaiming space means connecting fights for truth and justice across borders.

We also explore ethical exchanges and alternative economies, sharing strategies, tools, and knowledge already present in communities under siege.

Redistribution Through Turba

Turba channels resources back into the movement:

• Direct aid and frontline cultural work chosen by the Seed’s artist

• Creative labor and care from those shaping each project

• Shared infrastructure — production, logistics, storytelling, and tools that keep culture alive beyond extractive systems

This is not charity. It’s reclaiming power, resourcing justice, and keeping truth alive.

Join the Movement

Every Seed is an entry point. By participating, you fund urgent causes, sustain frontline artists, and help grow the soil that allows cultural resistance to thrive.

You can also join our LiveLabs — spaces to explore alternatives, unearth complicity, and prototype infrastructures for culture beyond collapse.

Become part of our community and support this work via Patreon. Every contribution helps reclaim space, amplify knowledge, and seed the infrastructures we need for autonomy and care.

Cultural Resistance needs all of us. The question is alive: how do we reclaim space? Together, we root the answers.

The Vision

We are building a cooperative cultural platform — a space where creators can upload, distribute, and seed cultural resistance.

Cultural Resistance is about infrastructure — for truth, for survival, and for the futures we imagine together.
