The Goethe-Institut Myanmar, in collaboration with the School of Contemporary Art (SoCA), hereby announces an open call for applications to participate in the Curious Academy Myanmar program.
The program is conceived as a curiosity-driven learning initiative that explores experimental and cross-disciplinary approaches to artistic creation. It aims to foster exchange, critical reflection, and creative inquiry across diverse artistic and cultural practices through collaborative learning sessions and interdisciplinary engagement.

The program will be implemented over a period from December 2025 to March 2026.
Further details regarding the Open Call can be accessed via the link below.

Towards Empathy, an initiative by the Goethe-Institut Myanmar that centers on listening, feeling, rebuilding, and rediscovering through shared learning, has now formed thirteen discussion groups. Each group comprises approximately eight to ten focus group members from different parts of Myanmar, including those currently living both within the country and abroad.
As part of the Towards Empathy project, a hybrid meeting with the co-leads of each group was held on 10 October at the Goethe-Institut Myanmar to discuss detailed plans and the implementation process for the upcoming focus group discussions.
The discussions will take place from October through the end of November, and updates on subsequent activities will be shared via the Goethe-Institut Myanmar’s online platforms.

The project Within & Beyond: Reimagining Art across Distances, initiated in September, aims to present artistic works that reflect the similarities and differences, among other effects, that arise as a result of distance.
The program brings together eight Myanmar artists and three Myanmar curators currently based in countries such as Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, France, the Czech Republic, and Sweden. Through a series of discussions held until early October, the participants explored the relationships between the program’s overarching theme and the artists’ creative practices.
The program has now entered the production phase, during which the artists are developing their new works. Further updates and related activities will be shared on the Goethe-Institut Myanmar’s online platforms.

The Sundowner Musical Gathering is back this November! We warmly invite you to spend an evening enjoying live music at Goethe Café. Stay tuned for the artist lineup and detailed program schedule, and join us for an unforgettable musical experience.
