HuMBASEpartout aims to be an open space for cultural work—an enabling sphere for everything, regardless of whether it’s a fully formulated concept or a vague idea, a finished piece or an experiment, an exhibition or studio work, a spontaneous impulse or a long-planned project. You can book HuMBASEpartout, use it free of charge for your cultural work and thereby become part of the question of how cultural spaces can be designed so that we can then decide whether we want to be part of a cultural landscape.

If you would like to find out more about the initiators’ thoughts on HuMBASEpartout, you can find a deeper insight in the project text.

For everyone! And preferably for everyone at the same time—because HuMBASEpartout is shared space. This means that you can use the space for yourself, but you don't have exclusive rights to use it. The space is therefore also about discourse, care, and solidarity.

To be able to offer a safe space for all cultural workers despite the open usage concept, HuMBASEpartout has General Terms of Use that you must agree to before using the space. In addition, HuMBASEpartout strictly follows a Code of Conduct and asks you to do the same.

As simply and spontaneously as possible. Here you will find a portal to register. As soon as you are registered, you can book time slots in a calendar. You will receive an access code for this period and can get started. 

Please note that the booking process can take several days and that others can use HuMBASEpartout during the same period.

Using HuMBASEpartout costs you nothing, as it is funded by the City of Stuttgart’s project funding and attempts to cover all running costs.

HuMBASEpartout is an experiment—and would like to be one too. This means that none of the terms of use, the conditions on site, or the underlying structures are irrevocable. Rather, negotiability is an integral part of the HuMBASEpartout concept and is intended to invite all users to point out shortcomings within the design, develop ideas, and get actively involved.

HuMBASEpartout asks for leniency if something does not work or if people or groups of people feel excluded and asks them to communicate—so that the place can learn, grow, and open up further.

HuMBASEpartout wants its users to temporarily own it, but in return, it asks for responsibility, self-organization, and solidarity. 

Use the space as if it were your own—temporarily and shared with others. Like a book borrowed from the library, you are responsible for how long the space can be used and how often it can be borrowed again.

Because you own the space for a short period, you can do whatever you want within the terms of use. However, you are also responsible for the implementation and consequences of your project.

The HuMBASEpartout cultural space project stands and falls by the extent to which its users show solidarity with the space itself as well as with other users and how seriously they take responsibility for this, i.e. their space.

HuMBASEpartout believes that cultural work should be paid unconditionally, no matter what stage it is in, and no matter whether it meets the guidelines for public or private funding. 

Unfortunately, as HuMBASEpartout does not generate any income of its own apart from the funding it receives, and spends the majority of these funds on maintaining and providing the premises free of charge, it is not possible to provide adequate remuneration.

In 2025, however, HuMBASEpartout would like to offer a small allowance in the form of a community budget. Users (within a season) can decide to receive an evenly distributed sum from this budget at the end of the year. The amount of each payment will depend on the number of parties involved—the more parties involved, the lower the amount paid out. This allowance can only be claimed once per project, even if the project is repeated, and regardless of how many people are involved. All information can be found in the user area.
