ACUD, Cultural center and movie theater in Veteranenstrasse, Mitte, Germany.
ACUD is a cultural center in Mitte featuring two cinema rooms, an art gallery, studios, a concert space, and a café across multiple floors. The venue hosts a range of programs from exhibitions to film screenings and live performances.
The center was founded in 1990 following German reunification, initially operating in abandoned apartments on Rykestrasse. It moved to its current Veteranenstrasse location in 1991, where it has remained.
The space supports artistic expression through exhibitions, independent film screenings, and events that showcase diverse perspectives and voices. Visitors experience a program deliberately focused on the interests of artists who have fewer opportunities in mainstream venues.
Visitors should know that opening hours are limited and many events take place on weekends. The location in Mitte is easily accessible by public transport, and the café provides a place to relax between programs.
The name ACUD comes from the initials of the four founders who created this cultural space during Berlin's post-wall period. This naming choice reflects the collaborative spirit behind its creation and gives the place a personal character.
