MOTORMOND Amsterdam
MOTORMOND is a multifaceted entity, serving as an Artspace, a discursive platform, a performance venue, a library, a hub for research, a generator of knowledge, and a space fostering community. Operating as a nonprofit cultural institution in perpetual becoming, MOTORMOND stands as a public and independent organization overseen by seven internal members and three external board members. MOTORMOND reaches its audience through rigorously well researched exhibitions. With a focus on photography, moving image, print and performance arts, MOTORMOND sets out to serve all communities in the diaspora. Our working definition of diaspora is all peoples living in the Netherlands with an immigrant background that is none-western. Our main goal is to stage creatives from the diaspora communities to the diaspora community. In a way, showing the diaspora communities to themselves. Intra-community work that is. MOTORMOND has a permanent location in Amsterdam West on the Kinkerstraat 96h
