XsentrikArts

We use the power of storytelling to communicate intricate themes to wider audiences, inspire and create change and foster dialogue.

Xsentrikarts is a non-profit project incubator. We combine  research methods with artistic practice, capacity building and exchange to activate and promote social change, sustainability, inclusion and well-being – in our built environment as well as within ourselves and amongst each other. 

In short, we’re curious about us: our stories, our hopes, our past and our future.  We’re based out of Vienna, Austria, and are active in numerous EU funded projects as a communications, mediation, stakeholder involvement, research and/or dissemination partner.
