2 the mission Since its inception in 1994, Stubnitz has been and remains a unique cross-cultural project of its kind, committed to the research and documentation of the contemporary music and performance art across different European regions, for the benefit of the artists, their audiences and cultural exchange. As the Culture Ark, it is our mission to chronicle the innovation and diversity of contemporary youth culture and communicate it to the present and future generations. Doing so, we keep the maritime cultural heritage of Stubnitz the ship, and the millennia-old tradition of maritime cultural exchange alive and accessible to the people.

3 the profile Motorschiff Stubnitz e.v. is a registered non-profit association, which operates an 80m former freeze & transport vessel of the GDR high seas fishing fleet. Built in 1964 at the Volkswerft Stralsund, MS Stubnitz is the sole surviving specimen of its type and is listed as a Monument of German Shipbuilding by the city of Rostock. In 1993 it was transformed into a mobile platform for music, cultural production, documentation and communication. The three converted cargo holds have excellent acoustic qualities, can accommodate around 700 people in total and are ideally suited as venues for live music, exhibitions, performances and media art. The main part of the maintenance and cultural work is done on a voluntary basis, the artists and coworkers lodged and fed on board. Since 1994 Stubnitz has visited 15 different ports across 10 European countries, researching and presenting innovative youth culture and forming partnerships with local culture organizations and promoters. More than people have attended more than 1500 events hosted by Stubnitz. More than 3000 live performances by artists from 30 countries all over the world have been documented and preserved in an on-board audio/video archive. Each performance is recorded by 2-3 cameras, live mix and biophonic audio equipment, then edited and catalogued in an on-board multi-media lab. Stubnitz maintains a file server and a web site where fragments of this vast archive material are now gradually being offered for public viewing. We are constantly looking for new joint projects with authorities of European port cities, local and international culture organizations, to bring this fascinating environment and a diverse cultural program to the full access of the local public.
