January 30 to February 01, 2026 Dealing in Distance

Dealing in Distance is a travelling art festival initiated by four Goethe-Institutes in Southeast Asia, bringing together Southeast Asian and diasporic artists based in Southeast Asia and Germany. Taking place in Metro Manila from January 30 to February 1, the festival explores themes of migration, identity, and distance. Across six venues in Quezon City, it features eight artists presenting exhibitions, performances, and interactive programs. The festival invites audiences to rethink distance not only as separation, but as a space for connection and solidarity.
