Soy Capitán

Soy Capitán, founded in 2011 by Heike Tosun, is a renowned gallery that has established itself in the vibrant art scene of Berlin-Kreuzberg. After a successful period in Neukölln and later on Prinzessinnenstraße, the gallery moved in 2024 to its new home at Lindenstraße 34, in close proximity to the Jewish Museum and the Berlinische Galerie.

Soy Capitán represents international artists who work in a variety of media and practices, including painting, photography, sculpture, video, and sound. The gallery focuses on presenting solo exhibitions of its artists and complements its program with carefully curated interventions. This approach allows for showcasing new developments in contemporary art and gathering important, relevant trends in various formats[1][2].

The mission of Soy Capitán is to create an inspiring and welcoming platform for artists, collectors, curators, and visitors. The gallery serves as a home base that promotes and supports sustainable and long-term artistic developments. Through its interdisciplinary, concept-based, and analytical approaches, which often include significant social commentary, Soy Capitán contributes to strengthening the creative network of artists, institutions, curators, and collectors[1].

Soy Capitán is committed to promoting a sustainable art scene. By participating in initiatives such as the group exhibition K60, which was launched after the pandemic to emphasize the importance of collaboration and support among galleries, the gallery demonstrates its commitment to strengthening and uniting the Berlin art scene. Furthermore, Soy Capitán supports artists in participating in institutional solo exhibitions and international group exhibitions, highlighting its role as a promoter of innovative and relevant art[1][3].

Soy Capitán is more than just a gallery – it is a vibrant part of the dynamic contemporary art scene in Berlin. With its focus on innovative and socially relevant art, its support for artists, and its active role in the art community, Soy Capitán has established itself as one of the leading galleries in the German art landscape. Its new home at Lindenstraße 34 provides an ideal setting to continue this mission and shape the artistic developments of the future.
