Goethe-Institut im Exil | Goethe-Institut

A Platform and Resonance Space

The Goethe-Institut in Exile offers a platform for displaced, exiled, and migrated artists a place of arrival and continuity for their work. Intended as a space for exchange, critical discourse, and a stage for at-risk cultural practitioners, it addresses the needs of artists from countries where the Goethe-Institut was forced to close its offices due to war and censorship. The programme allows for insights into histories of displacement, limit-experiences, just as well as new beginnings, while showcasing the plurality of artistic expression. It invites efforts to support and connect the vibrant cultural scene within the diaspora.

“Hakki” — Stories along the way

The Hakki-Workshop organized by the Goethe-Institut in Exile and Sudan Club e. V.

Participants will develop narrative scenes during the workshop, which will then be filmed by a professional filmmaker in an interview format and presented at a public event in early autumn 2025.
