By carrying out a self-sufficient economic system with the support of stakeholders from different sectors, it tries to provide the independence of artistic production.
It wishes to be an off-center, alternative station for art where the local is intertwined with the global.
It wishes to be a space of existence, an extraordinary place where people from all classes and groups can dwell in and life is manufactured.
