International Relations and Residencies, Sicily Music Conference

Mark Dieler, Latvian-Sicily based German-Italian from Ranco (Italy), has been working internationally since 1998, of which 10+ years spent on the African continent. 
With a background of activism and interest in social change, he has worked on numerous projects between hospitality and events involving both underground and top-tier artists and locations.
Due to the decade spent in East Africa he has a particular interest in the continent.

He continues working on networking projects, producing events, tours and residencies, cooperates with organisations such as In Place of War, Tallinn Music Week, Sicily Music Conference, Trans Europe Halles, Dirty Deal Audio, Cindy&Kate, Lona Musik, Paavli Kultuurivabrik and others.

A current focus is the establishment of an artist residency space in Sicily, where he spends as much time as possible with a particular interest on island and mediterranean music ecosystems as well as collaborative projects and circular economy. In cooperation with likeminded projects he co-founded AMARI – a network of rural mediterranean residencies.
