Mosik is the acronym for the international collective of talents More Strangers in Kreuzberg. Founed in Berlin, Kreuzberg in the Summer of 2003, it is an active circle of young artists, musicians, architects, film makers and writers of diverse extract. In its origins the collective started as the title of the amateur shortfilm "Mosik", that depicted the history and potentials of the Kreuzberg area from an urban and social standpoint. While filming "Mosik" in the streets of Berlin, the founders coined a phrase from an unknown man in the street as the collective's title. The man was complaining about the presence of "more strangers" in the neighborhood. Kreuzberg is worldwide known for the diversity of its population and the cohabitation of what are considered "marginal groups". When the man, presumably drunk, heard the conversation in English of the future founders of Mosik, he shouted in German the phrase that eventually will give name to the collective: "Gosh! There is even more strangers in Kreuzberg!". Nowadays the collective has centers of vital activity in the cities of New York, Paris and Berlin itself. The group concentrate all its efforts in the formulation of alternative ways of living and experiencing life, mostly through the use of architecture and art in its different manifestations, but also through alternative music, avant guard film and literature.
