We build infrastructures for artists of Colour, focued on visibility, economic sustainability, and access within contemporary culture — on their terms.
Saint Loba is an interdisciplinary cultural platform working across representation, curation, and distribution. We collaborate with and represent artists of Colour, produce exhibitions and public programs, distribute certified editions, and manage a digital platform that extends artistic work through storytelling and archiving.
Our work is a direct response to the economic, representational, and structural inequities that determine who is seen, supported, and able to sustain a practice. Through curatorial and organisational work, we develop frameworks that strengthen artistic autonomy, connect creative work to real financial return, and broaden access to art and collecting — for artists and audiences alike.
Founded by Liwia Stern and Sarah Masete, two Berlin-based artists and cultural organisers working across art, design, strategy, and cultural infrastructure. Built by artists for artists.
Sarah masete
Sarah is a Ugandan-Polish creative director, artist and strategist, shaping futures through storytelling, technology, and visual communication. Her practice moves between design, psychology, facilitation and emerging tech - used to critically remigaine the dominant narrative and redistribute tools for access, and visibility.
She leads the Soho Mentorship Programme, which has supported over 100 young marginalised creatives in entering and navigating the creative industry. Sarah co-founded Kilowatt, a queer, Black-led party and cultural platform in Berlin that celebrates and honours the legacy of electronic music. Her work has been showcased by WePresent, where she was selected by Olafur Eliasson as an emerging artist, and she was named one of Prazzle’s Visionary 35 in 2024, recognising a new generation of creative trailblazers.
Liwia stern
Liwia is a Polish-Nigerian artist, curator, and scenographer working across sculpture, painting, film, and set design. Her practice is rooted in speculative worldbuilding, and in examining thresholds where bodies, identities, memory, and matter shift under different conditions. Drawing from lived experiences of mixed-race and queer identity, ancestral memory, and sexuality, her work approaches the body as a site of encounter.
She studied stage design and sculpture and has been trained in curatorial practice. Alongside her artistic work, Liwia has worked as a studio and production assistant for established artists across disciplines. She is also co-founder of Kilowatt, where she led cultural research, awareness strategy, and production within Berlin’s electronic music scene.
