APPLICATION DEADLINE | July 31, 2024

Overview

The Goethe-Institut Hanoi call for proposals and collaboration from artists, groups and associations that address the concerns of people with disabilities in Vietnam and highlight the inclusive potential of the arts and how everyone in society - both able-bodied people and people with disabilities - profit from more inclusion.

The Goethe-Institut Hanoi will focus on inclusive art practices in the coming years. This open call wants to generate projects that focus the dialogue on inclusive art practices and to provide insights on art and disability to a broad audience.  
 
With this open call the Goethe-Institut Hanoi is looking for new partners and local allies in our partner network for further projects in the field of inclusive art practice. 

Background

Acknowledging the diverse realities of people with disabilities and the existence of obstacles on the journey to legal and social equality, the Goethe-Institut, wants to create a space for reflecting and discussing the topic of inclusion through various formats of culture, as well as foster international exchanges to broaden the local public view and debate in this area.
 
We are looking for projects, ideas and novel approaches to increase the visibility and new approaches to issues of inclusion through cultural activities. The Goethe-Institut is open to new and cross-sectoral formats and cultural activities not limited to the genres of literature, film and theater.

With this call we would like to stimulate new collaborations between organisations of people with disabilities and artistic groups or cultural institutions.
