How it works

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

We ask one urgent question:
How do we reclaim space for cultural resistance, for justice, for truth?
Every Seed, every redistribution, every LiveLab is part of this search.

Seeds of Cultural Resistance

Every two weeks a Seed is planted with artists on the frontlines. Each Seed is rooted in urgency for justice and truth. At that moment, the artist chooses a direct-aid cause connected to a struggle they want to amplify — to act, to draw attention, and to build bridges of solidarity through the arts.

Seeds connect struggles across Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon, Congo, Berlin. They show that resistance is never local but always linked — and that reclaiming space means connecting our fights for truth and justice.

Redistribution through Turba

Behind each Seed, Turba circulates resources back into the movement:

direct aid and frontline cultural work chosen by the artist
creative labor and care of those shaping the Seed
shared infrastructure — production, logistics, storytelling, tools that keep culture alive outside extractive industries

Redistribution is not charity. It is reclaiming power, resourcing justice, and keeping truth alive.

How can you become part of this?

Every Seed is an entry point. By carrying it, you join a system of redistribution and solidarity: funding urgent causes, sustaining frontline artists, and strengthening the soil that allows cultural resistance to grow.

You can also join our LiveLabs — spaces where we unearth complicity, research how to move beyond boycotts, and prototype infrastructures for culture after systemic collapse.

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

events; they are spaces of prototyping, dialogue, and collective strategy.

This is just the beginning.

The long-term vision is to evolve into a cooperative cultural platform — where creators can upload, distribute, and seed cultural resistance, building systems of care, autonomy, and resistance when everything else is crumbling.

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