Taking up a residency can be one of the most inspiring and rewarding opportunities for cultural practitioners and artists. Our residency programmes focus on professional development, artistic exchange and facilitating artistic research and processes. We believe conceptualising and making new work in a different location and context nurtures creative thinking, promotes experimentation and offers new perspectives. Residencies provide opportunities to collaborate with others, allowing artistic practices to develop and thrive. We work across various artforms including dance, visual arts, music, technology, theatre, journalism.

Delfina Resiency is a co-operation between the Goethe-Institut London and the Delfina Foundation in London. The joint residency programme has different curatorial focuses in the areas of contemporary art and everyday life. 

Studio Quantum is a new international artist-in-residence programme from the Goethe-Institut, exploring emerging quantum technologies through the lens of art. The residency and accompanying event series will examine important ethical and ecological questions around the impact of quantum technologies. 

Goethe-Kino is our monthly series of contemporary German cinema, outstanding TV productions and film classics. All movies are shown with English subtitles unless otherwise specified. We are offering screenings at the Goethe-Institut London on the last Wednesday of every month. We are delighted to continue our online Goethe-Kino, running for 10 days after the cinema screening.

Might reframing biotechnologies in the context of the sacred web of life be useful in guiding innovation towards the creation and restoration of flourishing and generative ecologies? When formulated within the modern paradigm, the products of biotech tend towards the extraction, alienation and entrapment of life, both natural and synthetic. For this episode, we consider biotechnologies within the context of indigineous cosmologies together with Anicka Yi, Lucy Sollitt and Keith Williams.
