Timcheh e.V. is a non-profit organization founded in March 2020 in Köln. Their goal is to recreate a space where people meet as travelers, migrants, and locals; inviting people to listen, observe, and reflect on their diverse, yet familiar cultural motifs. Their core mission is to offer a physical and virtual cross-cultural platform for projects that involve minorities and underrepresented voices in German society, particularly those from immigrant backgrounds.
Scattered lead spheres join and form the icon of Timcheh—A form inspired by architectural characteristics in the heart of Iranian traditional bazaars. The round-ness, the compact-ness and the expansive-ness all allude to the idea of the ambitious coming together of all parts dispersed—A community.
