ABC Kultur → ABC Incuba

A long-term professional development and cultural incubation programme created and directed by Marcela Villanueva through Sorora e.V. to support transnational FLINTA artists and cultural workers in Berlin. Initially developed as ABC Kultur, the programme provided practical orientation on cultural management, funding, self-employment, language and professional networks. It later evolved into ABC Incuba, a six-month incubation model that combines direct project funding, weekly mentoring, specialised workshops, peer exchange and public presentations, supporting participants from early concept development through production and implementation. Each selected project receives €2,000 and ongoing accompaniment, while many workshops remain open to the wider community. ABC has become a sustained access structure for migrant cultural practitioners navigating Berlin’s cultural ecosystem, helping them build projects, networks and greater professional autonomy.
