Statement by the Goethe-Institut Johannesburg

The Goethe-Institut rejects all forms of violence, racism and antisemitism. For over 70 years, we have offered a platform for dialogues, including those that end in respectful disagreement.

Therefore, we do not believe that boycotts or embargos are useful tools in the realm of international cultural exchange.
