Art that connects people.

Berlin is one of the most diverse cities in Europe — but how often do you actually connect with people from other cultures, instead of just living side by side?

ARTivisten e.V. creates spaces for exactly that: concerts, cultural events, and encounters with international artists, right here in Berlin. With us, you’re not just an audience member — you become part of the exchange.

Just come by. Donation-based entry, no ticket, no registration required.

What We Do

We’re a community-driven association bringing Latin American, African, and international music and culture to Berlin — through ongoing projects like Migrant Sounds, La Peña de ARTivisten, and the LAfrican Jam Sessions. Every event is a chance to meet artists and neighbors you wouldn’t otherwise cross paths with.

Get Involved

Whether you come to an event, volunteer your time, or support us with a donation — every bit of involvement helps us keep building spaces for real cultural exchange in Berlin. 20+ volunteers are already part of it.

ARTivisten e.V. is an innovative, community-driven organization founded by José Carlos Mayorga in Berlin, focused on creating a space for artistic and cultural exchange among people from diverse backgrounds.

The mission of ARTivisten e.V. is to empower individuals through the power of art and creativity, with a special focus on inclusion, diversity, and intercultural understanding. ARTivisten e.V. seeks to build bridges among various communities in Berlin, offering platforms for artists to showcase their work, share knowledge, and collaborate with others.
