Ulrike Ottinger Retrospective Theatrum Mundi

Paris, London, New York, Stockholm and Toronto, the Goethe-Institut has shown Ulrike Ottinger's works worldwide and thus contributed significantly to the recognition of her work. Ulrike Ottinger is one of the most brilliant film artists of our time - she turned 82 this year and is tirelessly producing work, with one retrospective exhibition after the other. From 6 December 2024, the Goethe-Institut Brussels and CINEMATEK will be showing a complete film retrospective for the first time, including never seen before film material.

Halaqat

Europe and the Arab world are two rapidly changing regions, each with specific and varied local social, economic and political realities, but above all with many connections, historical and present. Building on these connections, the Goethe-Institut and Bozar present the project Halaqat. Halaqat – which in Arabic means multiple links and circles – aims to strengthen these entanglements and build bridges between both regions.

What moves us

The language column
 Word!

How does one find one's way around the rules of the German language, where do new words come from, and what are the most important changes in the use of the language - for example through digitalisation and sensitisation with regard to the gender issue? These and other exciting topics are the subject of our column on the German language.

Comics

Comics from Belgium determined the face of European pictorial history in the 20th century. Today, German comic artists are also searching for new narrative forms.
