We promote cultural exchange, education and social discourse

We foster bilateral cultural exchange programs between Germany and South Africa. We initiate film series, exhibitions, concerts, seminars and festivals, always with the goal to facilitate artistic production, reception and reflection involving actors from both countries.

Funding for Arts and Culture

With its worldwide calls for proposals and residency programs, the Goethe-Institut opens up a space for new perspectives in which artists and cultural workers can pursue their projects free of economic pressure and establish and deepen lasting contacts.

Imagining Impacts

Research on Cultural Relations in Sub-Saharan Africa

The significance of cultural relations, along with artistic and heritage practices, is widely acknowledged. However, there is limited research specifically addressing this within Sub-Saharan Africa. Imagining Impacts is a research initiative undertaken by the Goethe-Institut South Africa and the University of Cape Town’s African Centre for Cities, aimed at filling this research gap.
