Otherside is a place to experiment with what feels new or unresolved. A collective lab shaped by people who question, observe, and make in their own rhythm.
A lab both in metaphor and in practice, we are a network where bottom-up ways of thinking and creating are encouraged and can meet without hierarchy or gatekeeping.
If you carry an idea, a question, or simply a need to explore, you're welcome to try it here.
Otherside is built through collaboration. It holds many different ways of making and thinking: writing, sound & music production, visual work, performance, creative coding, research, podcasting, and the full design + development + hosting of the interactive web platform behind it.
Through projects, questions, half-ideas, ongoing practices, experiments, sound, visuals, text, performance, coding, research threads… anything that feels like a part of your creative self.
The project grows through a quiet chain reaction: one person tries something, someone else pays attention, and a new direction opens.
You don't need a polished idea to participate. It's a lab for trying things out without the pressure to know exactly what they are yet.
Even if all you have is a hunch, we encourage you to reach out.
We'll find a way for you to contribute in whatever form feels right for you.
Email us at hi@other-side.net or text us through Instagram, and we'll find a way to weave your project, practice, or perspective into an exploration.
By joining our next lab, sharing our The Others Vol. II podcast series, or buying the magazine, which helps us keep the project independent and create new explorations.
You can nominate someone from within (or outside of) your own constellation at https://other-side.net/nominate.
You do not. We intend to expand this initiative beyond Berlin.
