korp Foundation for Arts and Science is an international platform for artistic research, critical thinking, and systemic advocacy. Founded by philanthropist and art patron Stefan Nilsson, Korp serves as a living laboratory and academy - both conceptual and physical - uniting artists, curators, scientists, and researchers across disciplines and geographies. Together, we explore and respond to the most pressing challenges of our time: the accelerating climate and ecological crisis, deepening inequalities between north and south, systemic economic fragility, and the urgent need to radically, as agents of change reimagine how we live, create, and connect.

The foundation works as a laboratory of investigation and action through geographical acupuncture in the field of culture, science and education, promoting residency programs, exhibitions, academic programs and scientific research as well as fostering deep connections and community engagement.

Korp foundation  is committed to questioning the structures that uphold exploitation, whether through digital inequality, fractured supply chains, or modern forms of forced labor, while elevating art as a central force in shaping new narratives and new systems. At the heart of our work is the belief that artistic conceptual thinking is not peripheral to progress, it is its engine. 

Our flagship is to develop, to question, to influence, and to inspire transformation in pursuit of diversity, coexistence, and a more just, sustainable future.
