C/O Berlin brings people together and is a place of encounter and cultural exchange – direct, diverse, alive. As a non-profit foundation under civil law C/O Berlin is not institutionally funded by the state or federal government. The exhibition and educational programme is financed by entrance fees, donations, sponsoring and project funding.
Since its founding, C/O Berlin has been organized in a way that is autonomous, democratic and participatory. Together with our partners and friends we have realized a vision of a modern museum for photography with which we enrich the cultural landscape far beyond the borders of Berlin. With his or her contribution, each supporter secures that C/O Berlin can continue to present exhibitions in a new, permanent location.
Amerika Haus will offer a larger exhibition space and the possibility to show four exhibitions simultaneously. In addition we finally have planning security due to the long-term lease contracts. Until now it was difficult to plan more than six months in advance. Now it is possible to collaborate with international museums – resulting in an enhanced programme.
