Trust is a Berlin-based knowledge community and research collective, active since 2017, describing itself as "an incubator for utopian conspiracy." It brings together artists, designers, technologists and ecologists around the research, development and maintenance of shared infrastructures and imaginaries — a network that is both physical and decentralized, with a shared workspace in Schöneberg (Kluckstraße 25) and an online community organized around dedicated research threads (collective bodies, intelligences, new economies, politics, aesthetics).

The Berlin space hosts a public lecture program and the Cybernetic Library, alongside collective-research formats open to members. Registered as a nonprofit association (Trust.support e.V.), it is currently maintained by Calum Bowden, Lina Martin-Chan and Leïth Benkhedda.

Prime Produce is a worker cooperative that has run a roughly 700 sqm guildhall in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan (424 West 54th Street), since 2018. Founded in 2016 as a grassroots collective, it is now also a 501(c)3 nonprofit incubator for social-impact projects born within it — from PreProbono's legal mentorship to Emergent Works' digital literacy programs, from the Seeds to Soil urban farming collective to the Earthlings NYC turtle rehabilitation project. Fully self-governed on a cooperative basis, the space hosts events, coworking, a Jamaican café (Cafe 424) and a rooftop garden. Since 2023 it has been the regular home of Wikimedia New York City's meetups.

Wikimedia New York City is the official Wikimedia Foundation chapter for the New York metropolitan area, recognized since 2009. A 501(c)3 nonprofit with around 400 members (2025), it works to broaden and diversify the free-knowledge ecosystem through edit-a-thons, monthly meetups and partnerships with the city's museums, libraries and educational institutions. The chapter helped launch initiatives now active worldwide, including AfroCROWD and Art+Feminism. Since 2023 it has held its meetups at Prime Produce.

The Cybernetics Library is an artist-run browsing library and practice collective founded in 2017. The library's activities span community-oriented installations, digital art, participatory infrastructures, reading groups, events, and other programs.

Aspiring to support its collaborators by serving as a connecting node, the Library serves disparate communities that share intellectual or activist goals, seeking to refigure and make more accessible inquiry on the relationships between people, technologies, and society.

Denkiyu (電気湯) is a historic sento — public bathhouse — in the Kyojima neighborhood of Sumida ward, Tokyo. Owned by the family of manager Katsuhito Okubo, it keeps alive a tradition dating to the Edo period: a semi-public, egalitarian space where, stripped of any marker of status, generations share the same everyday space. Under Okubo's stewardship, Denkiyu has grown from 90 to 250 visitors a day, becoming a genuine community hub: it hosts events and exhibitions, functioning as a shared living room for local creators as part of the "Sento & Neighborhood" project. This is one of the locations of the movie Perfect Days by Wim Wenders.

The Sea World Culture and Arts Center (SWCAC) sits on the Shekou coast, Nanshan district, Shenzhen, overlooking the mountains of Hong Kong. Designed by Fumihiko Maki — 1993 Pritzker laureate — it is his first building in China: a roughly 71,000 sqm complex arranged as a podium and pavilion, born from a joint venture between the state-owned China Merchants Group and London's Victoria and Albert Museum, which curates a permanent gallery on site (V&A Gallery).

The center houses exhibition galleries, a roughly 330-seat theater, a sea-facing multi-purpose hall and generous public spaces; it has been named among China's top cultural destinations by Lonely Planet (2019) and one of TIME's 100 Greatest Places in the World (2018).

The Écomusée Tata Somba, opened in March 2021 in Tanguiéta (Atacora department, 25 km from Pendjari National Park), is West Africa's first ecological museum. Dedicated to the architecture of the Tata Somba — the earthen fortress-dwellings of the Batammariba people, recognized as UNESCO World Heritage as part of the Koutammakou cultural landscape — it brings together the region's five traditional architectural models on a single site, safeguarding their building techniques and craftsmanship. The project links heritage conservation with ecotourism: it promotes income-generating activities for local women, the protection of endangered medicinal plants, and reforestation programs. Founded by Ibrahim Tchan and Yves Biaou with World Bank support.

The Vero Stoppioni Gallery of Contemporary Art in Santa Sofia was inaugurated in 1990, growing out of the long tradition of the Campigna Prize, an art event founded in 1955 by the Municipality of Santa Sofia thanks to the commitment of teacher Vero Stoppioni, to whom the gallery is dedicated. Housed in an early 20th-century building, the gallery aims to connect contemporary art, experimentation, and the local territory, and it preserves works collected over the many editions of the Prize.

The collection, initially curated by Fabio Cavallucci and today by Veruska Eneidi, includes paintings and sculptures by prominent Italian and international artists from the post-war period to the present. Among them are Mattia Moreni—who holds a special place in the gallery—Pompilio Mandelli, Fabrizio Plessi, Francesco Somaini, Giovanni Korompay, Alberto Sughi, and Eugène Berman, along with many Romagna-based artists who highlight the richness of the regional art scene.

A distinctive feature of the gallery is its strong relationship with the surrounding landscape: the Campigna Prize also gave rise to an open-air sculpture park that stretches along the Bidente river valley from Santa Sofia to Capaccio, featuring environmental artworks as metaphors of the relationship between humanity and nature.

Today, the gallery continues to host temporary exhibitions, monographic shows, and tributes to significant figures of the 20th century, weaving contemporary art into the cultural fabric of the area and establishing Santa Sofia as a reference point for those interested in the development of modern and contemporary art in Italy.
