We promote cultural exchange, education and social dialogue

We promote cultural exchange between Germany and Indonesia with a focus on local artists. Through film series, exhibitions, concerts, seminars, and festivals, we create spaces for joint artistic production, exchange, and reflection.

In Focus / Our Key Areas

  • Film Collaboration & Scene Development

    We bring together German and Indonesian filmmakers through festivals, TV series initiatives and film programmes to promote co-productions and the sustainable development of the film industry.

  • Electronic Music & Club Culture

    We support the contemporary electronic music scene and club culture through concerts, artistic platforms and international networking.

  • Artistic & Academic Collaborations

    Through transdisciplinary partnerships and programmes, artists and researchers from Indonesia and Germany are working together on innovative cultural formats.
