Motus Mundi Consultus

Motus Mundi Consultancy

Motus Mundi offers consulting services in connection with both start-up, development and operation of cultural centers of all kinds and in all shapes and forms. All inquiries and assignments are treated confidentially, and every assignment begins with a thorough but non-binding clarification phase.

"I have always found myself behind, on, or in front of the stages in Danish and European cultural centers. As Head of the Secretariat in the National Association of Cultural Centers in Denmark (KHiD) and subsequently as Development Manager, I have visited many hundreds of cultural centers, all of which have had in common that they do not just sell tickets to events, but they also offer the opportunity for citizens to express themselves and to participate culturally and artistically in the activities.
Despite Sharing this very important quality, all these houses are wonderfully different, and they represent in the very best way the diversity of the locally rooted artistic and cultural life. "

"As the initiator and project manager of both a European and a Danish research projects I ny now have a deep insight into specific qualities characterize these highly dynamic cultural institutions. "The many years of work - as an advisor and consultant for both municipalities, citizens, new cultural center initiatives as well as established small and large cultural centers - gives me a special opportunity to meet local challenges exactly where it is needed and with solutions to the specific problems. Both from research results but also from my very own experience I believe that I'm able to contribute with knowledge and network across Denmark and Europe"
As a consequence of the diversity and complexity in the area an advisory or consultancy session will not have a defined format or duration from the beginning, but will depend on the very specific needs and circumstances in the particular situation. For this reason all possible cooperation will begin with a thourough and non-formal clarification process - without any costs or mutual obligations. So please don't hesitate contacting me for a conversation about the possibilities."

Best regards

This map is purely fictional but shows many of the Cultural Actors in a typical Danish Municipality. The institutions are placed in a distance from one another somewhat corresponding to how close there activities are related. We could name the scale " Cooperation pr. Kilometer", and the map can be read and be used in many different ways especially when it comes to analyzing and developing new partnerships for cultural institutions and activities.
