iros.Lab
At iros.gallery, our mission is to reflect the diverse lives and voices that shape contemporary society. With iros.Lab, we extend this commitment through an annual curatorial platform based in Berlin.
Each August, the gallery space is handed over for two weeks to a selected group of young artist collectives. This initiative shifts the focus from individual practice to collective curatorial vision, providing emerging creators the opportunity to experiment outside institutional or commercial frameworks.
By supporting collaborative, self-organized practices, iros.Lab provides space for experimentation and new voices that keep Berlin’s art scene vibrant and diverse.
