About
M-Cult – Art & Media Culture Agency
M-Cult develops and presents art and media culture, with a focus on the social and political dimensions of media and technology. We connect artists and local communities to global concerns, operating through art commissions, residencies and learning programmes.
Art & Media Culture Agency M-Cult was founded in 2000 by Minna Tarkka (1960–2023). Pioneering internet-based projects and participatory media production, M-Cult has played a key role in introducing media art and culture into public spaces beyond traditional art institutions.
Over the past two decades, M-Cult has produced hundreds of artworks, hosted international artist residencies, organised workshops and public programmes, and developed communal TV and radio formats and art festivals. This work has explored the evolving intersections of media culture, civic society and art – always in collaboration with artists and local communities.
Today, M-Cult remains committed to working with our community of collaborators. Together, we continue shaping more democratic and imaginative futures for media, art and society.
What we do and how we work?
M-Cult…
- supports artists working at the intersection of media, technology and society — through residencies, commissions and learning programmes
- platforms experimental, socially-engaged, collaborative and critically-informed artistic practices to local and international audiences
- facilitates long-term partnerships between artists, researchers, activists and communities to foster dialogue and co-creation
We do art and media culture with a focus on sociopolitical change.
