657 Howard Street
The New Goethe-Institut San Francisco

On October 24, we celebrated the re-opening of the Goethe-Institut San Francisco at our new location at 657 Howard Street with an evening filled with creativity, community, and cross-cultural exchange. Our new space in Yerba Buena welcomed friends, cultural leaders, and city representatives for an immersive experience showcasing C/Change: Prototyping Just Technological Futures - a testament to the power of art and tech to foster dialogue, empower voices, and inspire future generations.

The night was brought to life through a captivating exhibition with powerful prototypes, and the dance performance MIRA_Singular_Shift by Julia Riera. We were also proud to feature Step Into German, a platform encouraging youth engagement with German culture through film, music, and sustainability. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us as we begin a new chapter of intercultural dialogue and innovation here in San Francisco.

40 Years of Bush Street

As we were surrounded by moving boxes, we were reminiscing about all the amazing times we’ve had at 530 Bush Street, which has been our home for so long. Indeed, for over 40 years this space has been a hub of cultural exchange and language learning. It has seen countless students, artists, and scholars from around the world. We are proud of the part we’ve played in bringing the German language and culture to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Take a trip down memory lane with us in this photo gallery of 40 years of Bush Street.
