CTM Festival

CTM Festival, a beacon of adventurous music and art, is gearing up to celebrate its 25th edition from 26 January to 4 February 2024, in the culturally vibrant city of Berlin. The festival, which has become a staple in the global music and art scene, will be hosted across various iconic venues in the city, including Berghain, silent green, and radialsystem, promising a multi-venue experience that explores the depths and breadths of contemporary music and art.

Sustain – A Theme Resonating with Empathy and Determination

The theme for CTM 2024 is "Sustain," a term that encapsulates a spectrum of contemporary experiences, from empathy and determination that help us survive to the anxieties, losses, and pains we navigate through. "Sustain" is not merely a description but an imperative and a vocation towards more interdependent ways of life. The festival poses a thought-provoking question: if "sustain" were a sound, what would it be like? It explores the ideals, ethics, and practices in musical life and ecosystems that can pave the way towards a more sane, just, and sustainable future.

A Sonic Refuge and Reminder

Music, in the context of CTM Festival, is perceived as not only a refuge but also a constant reminder of our collective desire to gravitate towards the brighter end of the spectrum. The festival seeks to explore and discuss how music can be a means to work towards something more sustainable and just, providing a platform where music becomes a medium to explore and express ideals related to sustainability and collective well-being.

Inclusive Calls and Collaborative Opportunities

CTM 2024 is not just a spectator event but also a platform for collaborative creation and exploration. The festival has opened calls for the MusicMakers Hacklab, inviting artists and experimenters to collaborate and realize new musical ideas during the festival week. Furthermore, Berlin-based artist groups and initiatives are invited to submit proposals to participate in the annual Vorspiel event series, which launches the CTM and transmediale festivals, providing a platform for local artists to showcase their work.
