The IMPACT strand of the Berlin Diversity Fund, run by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion alongside its other funding programmes, supports the diversity development of Berlin's cultural sector, especially in the independent arts, by making under-represented artistic perspectives more visible.
