DISK Consulting

DISK Berlin has a proven track record in the organization of art, music and media events, from concept design through planning, to operations, and effective PR. Our consistent focus for over 15 years has been to promote groundbreaking art and music in combination with pioneering interdisciplinary discourse on their social and cultural impact. 

Our projects range from scene-insider experiments through conferences to major international festivals, from not-for-profit through public funding, to cooperation with creative industries. We draw on extensive local and international networks, as well as our solid contacts in the cultural policy sector. Creative excellence, interdisciplinarity, conceptual clarity, and the courage to risk artistic innovation are our hallmarks. The immediacy of artistic expression and critical analysis thereby go hand in hand. Empathy as well as attentiveness to the needs and respective identities of our partners, venues, creative scenes and participating artists is indispensable, and our professionalism a matter of course.
