Centrala Berlin e.V. is a research and production hub that engages with Centre-Periphery art distribution from Central and Eastern Europe and beyond. 

The association aims to strengthen Central and Eastern European communities and trans-peripheral solidarities, adapted to the local context in Berlin.

We fulfil our mission by collaborating with artists, curators and researchers and building sustainable networks with artistic communities from Central and Eastern Europe as well as from semi-periphery regions.
