The projects deal with political, social and ecological issues utilizing different media including literature, music, film or comix.

Freiraum e. V. Übersee
The Freiraum e.V. is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2009 in the small village of Übersee (Germany) midways between Munich and Salzburg. The premises are situated in the center of Übersee – just opposite the train station.
The foremost objective of the Freiraum e.V. is to be an accessible, open-minded platform for all kinds of activities and events – and not only to host cultural events. Thus each and everyone is welcome to start and implement their ideas of an cultural event in their local community.
Another very important objective would be to provide a platform of conversation and community building. Locals and foreigners, familiar and unfamiliar faces, young and old, all of them are mixed together in a friendly and inviting atmosphere. They are provided with a unique opportunity to get together – in a way hardly possible otherwise – and to initiate a dialogue.

Principality of Sealand
Sealand was founded as a sovereign Principality in 1967 in international waters, six miles off the eastern shores of Britain. The history of Sealand is a story of a struggle for liberty. Sealand was founded on the principle that any group of people dissatisfied with the oppressive laws and restrictions of existing nation states may declare independence in any place not claimed to be under the jurisdiction of another sovereign entity. The location chosen was Roughs Tower, an island fortress created in World War II by Britain and subsequently abandoned to the jurisdiction of the High Seas.
