EMPOWER.
EDUCATE.
CREATE.
illuseum.org is a non-profit organisation that was founded in 2024 and is based in Berlin.
Our approach is simple: We believe in the power of art, education, and activism to drive meaningful change.
Focusing on our three core topics, we want to inspire people to play an active role in protecting our planet:
#1 ARTIVISM
#2 ACTIVIST SUPPORT
#3 EDUCATION
We value art as a powerful tool for activism due to its ability to highlight issues, inspire solutions, and drive action.
We support individuals and organisations with projects in environmental protection and nature conservation.
We organise exhibitions, workshops, and activities to educate and mobilise for a more environmentally conscious society.
OUR PROJECTS
Our projects are aimed at making a tangible difference in environmental conservation.
From protecting endangered species to supporting artists, our initiatives are designed to make a difference.
PROJECT #1

Nicole is an actress, writer, diver, sailor, artist, and activist.
We are supporting Nicole with the translation of her first book „THE CRY OF MY WOUNDS - How I survived the abuses, violations and pains of past lives through art“ into English as well as its publication.
