Willing to travel for an event.
I see myself not only as an initiator and facilitator of cultural processes, but also as a companion for people, projects, and institutions. My aim is to create spaces for encounters, experimentation, and creative learning, while also supporting change processes at organizational and policy levels. With curiosity and sensitivity for the potential of each individual, I develop strategies, moderate networks, and guide CHANGE processes in which new structures, forms of collaboration, and cultural innovations can emerge. I am personally motivated by the conviction that artistic practice opens doors to new ways of thinking and acting – for individuals as well as for communities and institutions.
Kerstin Wiehe founded kultkom in 1992 and initiated the establishment of Kulturkontakte e.V. in 2002, where she has since served voluntarily on the board. In 2020, she co-founded QuerKlang gUG. Her work focuses on interface-, genre-, and cross-border cultural and education projects, as well as the initiation and facilitation of networking, conceptual, and structural processes. She researches and develops experimental learning methods and innovative approaches to teaching, inspired by artistic research and practice, often realized through her own artistic-experimental formats.
Kerstin has been deeply engaged in contemporary and experimental music, as well as in performative and music-theatrical forms, through a wide range of projects and productions, including landscape compositions, contemporary music theatre, sound art, and QuerKlang. She holds teaching assignments at universities, professional conferences, and in the training of artists and educators.
She is a member of inm Berlin e.V., ZMB e.V., and LAFT Berlin, and has for many years served on the inm funding jury for project grants in Berlin-Mitte, as well as on various calls organized by Draußenstadt. She represents the interests of DACH MUSIK in the speakers’ council of the Koalition der Freien Szene Berlin. Additionally, she is the initiator of the initiative Kulturelle Bildung Stärken! in Berlin, currently leading a roundtable process on the topic.
