Who We Are
Founded in 2022, DIAETERNA stands at the crossroads of innovation and creativity. Bengu Gun, the founder of DIAETERNA, brings with her an extensive two-decade journey through the heart of the creative ecosystem – encompassing art galleries, museums, biennials, festivals, and artist residency programs – DIAETERNA is rooted in a profound understanding that the creative world thrives on deep, interconnected relationships. In a realm where competition is fierce, possessing a holistic view of these interconnections is significant for success.
DIAETERNA aims to foster positive social transformation by using art, heritage, and cultural practice as platforms for intercultural dialogue and community exchange. Rooted in twenty years of experience across museums, galleries, festivals, and residencies, DIAETERNA’s mission is to design and deliver innovative, participatory projects that connect diverse audiences, amplify underrepresented voices, and create sustainable networks of collaboration. By bridging artists, institutions, and communities, DIAETERNA positions creativity as a catalyst for empathy, mutual understanding, and shared learning across cultures.
DIAETERNA is not just about keeping pace with the next trends; it's about anchoring in the future to foster enduring collaborations. We envision a collaborative ecosystem where artists, creative professionals, art spaces, funders, and collectors all contribute their unique perspectives, creating a rich tapestry of creative innovation.
Our mission is to walk along with you in your creative projects, solve the unsolved within your institutions, or address your research needs with a fresh, creative perspective. We invite you to reach out, dive deep into your challenges with us, and discover the solutions you need – perhaps even before you realize you need them. Let's explore the uncharted together.
