K O - H U M is a Berlin based company which curates, develops and promotes stimulating projects by artists working across sound, music, visual and performing arts.
Through close dialogue with a range of collaborators, the company supports artists in releasing their works, facilitating performances and establishing authentic ventures with cultural institutions, bookings, media outlets and venues.
At the heart of the company's practice is a process-based relationship between artist and audiences, which seeks to give the projects space to find their own rhythm, public outputs, and discourse.
Founded in 2017, K O - H U M ’s core aim is to foster a dialogue between a range of disciplines by providing a platform where adventurous minds can encounter art that contextualizes, interprets, educates and expands culture, leading us to the edges of the contemporary experience.

Since 2017, KO-HUM has advanced networked forms of promotion and circulation of ideas that encompass digital strategies, partnerships, engagement programs, and campaigns. We facilitate the premiere of new works and present a diverse array of artists and cultural producers working across music, contemporary art, literature, and new media.​
As a studio, KO-HUM plays a developmental role in implementing projects that require considered listening, reading, and viewing, placing emphasis on bringing recognition to creative practitioners that withstand the atomization of culture and, through sustained inquiry and creative research, endeavor to enrich the public sphere. ​At the heart of our practice is a process-driven relationship among artists, writers, media outlets, event organizers, music labels, cultural institutions, and audiences. We seek to give each project the space to find its rhythm, public presence, and discourse, viewing this process as a collective enterprise.
KO-HUM is dedicated to fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas across disciplines. It provides a platform for adventurous minds to encounter creativity that contextualizes, interprets, educates, and expands culture to the edges of contemporary experience. ​​​​​
