Cultural Promotion and Residencies

Every year, the Goethe-Institut sends artists and cultural professionals on residencies, including to the Indian subcontinent. There, they live and work for a period of time in a different country and culture. The residency programs are designed to offer “space for new perspectives.” They provide a unique opportunity for artists from Germany to network with their colleagues from India.
