Acud Macht NEU, located at Veteranenstraße 21, 10119 Berlin, Germany, is an influential multidisciplinary venue that has played a pivotal role in Berlin's creative and nightlife scenes since the early 1990s. Established in the wake of the Berlin Wall's fall, ACUD originally began as an artists' collective and cultural center, offering a space for experimentation, collaboration, and grassroots cultural production in what was then a burgeoning scene of post-reunification Mitte. Over the decades, Acud Macht NEU, which is the contemporary iteration of the original ACUD, has solidified its reputation as a vital hub for independent art, music, and critical dialogue.

It combines a club, a cinema, art galleries, and a bar into one dynamic space that champions interdisciplinary events and progressive nightlife. The venue's ethos revolves around supporting emerging talent, avant-garde performances, and fostering international exchange, all while maintaining an inclusive, community-oriented spirit. Its reputation is one of uncompromising artistic integrity, giving a platform to experimental music, underground club culture, and art that challenges the status quo.

While ACUD itself has consistently occupied its original Mitte location, the internal structure and programming of the space have evolved over the years, particularly with the foundation of Acud Macht NEU in 2014 by a new team that reinvigorated its mission and expanded its reach. With each phase, the venue has reflected Berlin's changing cultural currents, serving as a mirror and engine for creative innovation in the city. Notable artists who have performed at Acud Macht NEU include both established and emerging figures such as Caterina Barbieri, Laurel Halo, Rabih Beaini (Morphosis), KMRU, Gaika, Ziúr, Pan Daijing, Bendik Giske, Perera Elsewhere, Lucrecia Dalt, Kassem Mosse, and Lena Willikens, alongside many local DJs and experimental musicians that form the pulse of Berlin’s creative underground.
