About Nachtsicht

In 2016, we, Hannah Bickhoff, Christine Koschel, Sophia Sadžakov and Hannah Liyafounded the non-profit organization Nachtsicht e.V. Our initiative is rooted in the shared desire to open up empowering spaces outside of established institutions, forge creative alliances, and celebrate life together.

 

Back then we were amidst our studies, but now we are freelance artists, winemakers, cultural producers, and curators in Stuttgart, Cologne, Leipzig and Chemnitz. Our collective work is informed by our respective perspectives and professional and personal experiences. It is subject to constant negotiation and exchange processes. What has brought us together throughout is the vision of and the search for a stimulating, intersectional, feminist, and low-threshold cultural landscape.
