Karne Kunst is a Berlin-based cultural platform founded in 2017, working across curatorial practice, programme development and cultural infrastructure. Rooted in Latin American, Caribbean and diasporic communities, it develops exhibitions, residencies, festivals, public programmes, professional development initiatives and opportunities for artists and cultural workers. Through projects in Berlin and across Germany, as well as transnational collaborations, Karne Kunst creates spaces for migrant, feminist, FLINTA and historically underrepresented practices while building networks, resources and long-term structures that support cultural production and participation.
